Ingredients
2lbbonelessskinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1" - 1 1/2" cubes - if cut too small, the chicken might overcook.)
1cupred or sweet onion cut into bite-sized pieces
1cupred bell peppercut into bite-sized pieces
1cupgreen or yellow bell peppercut into bite-sized pieces
flavored riceoptional
lemon wedgesoptional
Yogurt Marinade
1cupplain yogurt (I recommend full fat)
2tbspolive oil
2tbsplemon juice
4clovesgarlic minced
1tbsppaprika
1tsporegano dried
1/2tspcumin
1/2tbspkosher salt
1/2tspblack pepper
Instructions
Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well to combine. Spoon into a sealable plastic bag. Add chicken, onion, and bell peppers. Massage bag until the chicken and veggies are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Thread the chicken, peppers, and onions onto skewers, placing vegetables between chicken pieces. Bake the skewers on the prepared pan for 20 -25 minutes or until cooked through, flipping the skewers after 10 minutes. I recommend testing at 20 minutes. You can always cook more but you can't uncook!
Finish with a squeeze of lemon, and serve with flavored rice, if desired
Notes
Grilling instructions: grill skewers on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, flipping partway through.
