Ingredients
- 1 Kg (2 lbs) Chicken Boneless thighs or breast
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt

- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tbsp Coriander powder

- ½ tsp Black pepper powder
- 1 cup Onion chopped and layers separated
- 20 Cherry tomatoes or one large tomato quartered

Instructions
- Step 1 - Marinate chicken – Place all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Cut the chicken pieces into bite-size pieces and add them to the marinade. Cover and set aside to marinate for an hour on the counter or up to 12 hours in the fridge. Thaw it an hour before cooking.1 Kg Chicken, ½ cup Greek Yogurt, 5 large Garlic cloves, ½ tsp Ground Ginger , ½ tsp Turmeric powder, 1 tsp Cumin powder, 1 tbsp Coriander powder, ½ - 1 tsp Cayenne pepper, 2 tsp Sweet paprika , Juice and zest of one lemon , ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Black pepper powder, 1 tsp Cayenne or chili powder
- Step 2 - Prep Veggies – Cut vegetables also into small pieces similar to the chicken. Cut each onion into quarters. Do the same with the tomatoes if using large tomatoes.1 cup Onion , 20 Cherry tomatoes
- Step 3 - Skewer – Thread the chicken and vegetable pieces, alternating them. I prefer one piece of chicken, one piece of veggies, or sometimes one piece of chicken and two pieces of veggies.
- Step 4 - Grill – Heat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Place a few skewers at a time – do not overcrowd the grill. Brush each skewer with cooking oil. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn to the other side and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the other sides.2 - 4 tbsp Cooking oil
- Serve with fragrant rice or pita bread with tahini and hummus.
