Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your BBQ Chicken Kebabs with Garlic Yogurt Dip:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the marinade. Toss until all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers and onion into skewer-friendly sizes.
5. Make the Garlic Yogurt Dip: In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
6. Skewer the Ingredients: Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers. Alternate between chicken, red bell pepper, onion, and yellow bell pepper for a colorful array.
7. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
8. Cook the Kebabs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest the Kebabs: Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for about 5 minutes. This helps keep them juicy.
10. Serve with Dip: Arrange the kebabs on a platter and serve warm with the garlic yogurt dip on the side.
