Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano
Instructions:
Cut the Chicken: Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano until well combined.
Marinate Chicken: Add chicken cubes to the bowl, coating them well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for better flavor).
Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto 4 skewers, distributing them evenly.
Grill: Cook skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and grill marks appear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
Add Fresh Herbs: Boost flavor by adding parsley, dill, or fresh oregano to the marinade.
Cooking Alternatives: If a grill isn’t available, cook on a grill pan over medium-high heat or broil in the oven for similar results.
Serving Suggestions: Pair with grilled vegetables, pita bread, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
