Garlicky lemon chicken skewers — Lebanon.
plus marinating
Equipment: Grill or griddle; skewers
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 700 g chicken breast, cubed
- 150 g Greek yoghurt
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Salt and black pepper
- Garlic sauce (toum) and salad, to serve
Method
- Mix the yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, oil, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes — overnight is even better.
- Thread onto skewers.
- Grill or griddle on high for 10–12 minutes, turning, until lightly charred and cooked through with no pink inside — breast dries quickly, so don't overshoot.
- Rest for a few minutes.
- Serve with garlicky toum or garlic yoghurt, a fresh salad and pickles.
Swaps and tips
Marinate overnight if you can — it makes all the difference. Serve with salad and pickles instead of flatbread.
