Ingredients
- 2 Large Chicken Breasts (500g)
- 200g Greek Style Yoghurt
- 1 Bell Pepper or 1 third Of Each Of 3 Different Colour Peppers
- 1 Medium Onion
- 8 Cherry Tomatoes
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 2 tsp Coriander
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tbsp Sweet Paprika
- 1/2 A Lemon
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken breast into chunky pieces larger than you’d expect them to be as they will shrink a little during the cooking.
- Make the marinade starting with the youghurt and add all the spices, leaving the juice of half a lemon and 1 tbsp of sweet paprika which you can add after the marinade has been refrigerated. Mix well, cover with cling film and refrigerate for 1 – 2 hours or over night if you prepare it a day earlier. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes.
- Heat up the oven to 200 degrees C ( approximately 400 F). Take out the marinated chicken out of the fridge. Add 1 tbsp of sweet paprika and the juice of half a lemon, mix well. Cut the Peppers and onion to bite size pieces. Skewer the marinated chicken, peppers, onions and cherry tomatoes.
- Heat up a frying pan to medium/high and sizzle the kebabs 30 seconds on each side. Place a waxed sheet onto an oven tray. Place the kebabs on the waxed paper and brush with the marinade. Cover with foil paper and bake for 15 minutes ( an extra 2 – 3 minutes for less juicy kebabs).
- Remove the kebabs from the oven and serve with salad and pitta bread.
