De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure all spices are well mixed into the yogurt for an even marinade.

2. 2

   Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, tossing to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated.

   Ongeveer 1 min

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and tenderize the chicken.

   Ongeveer 2 uur

   Tip van de kok: Marinating longer will result in more flavorful and tender chicken.

4. 4

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.

5. 5

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 200°C / 400°F) or preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Ongeveer 10 min

6. 6

   Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Do not overcrowd the skewers.

7. 7

   Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on all sides.
