Method

  1. 1 Mix yogurt, lemon juice, crushed garlic, tomato paste, red chili powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
  2. 2 Cut the chicken breast into 3 cm cubes, mix well with the sauce, and marinate for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Skewer the chicken pieces, leaving gaps between them so they cook evenly.
  4. 4 Grill over charcoal or in a 220°C oven for 12 minutes, turning once to brown the chicken on all sides.
  5. 5 Serve hot with toasted pita bread and fresh lemon.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 21 min

    Change step 4: spray oil on each skewer, run the steamer at 235 degrees for 8 minutes and flip at the 4th minute; the chicken will cook faster, about 4 minutes, and for longer skewers, remove the skewers and divide into batches.
