45 min

These lemon and herb chicken skewers are inspired by Greek flavours and served with a fresh, creamy yoghurt and herb sauce.

Ingredients

For the skewers:

  • 300g chicken breast, diced
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • ½ tsp paprika

For the sauce:

  • 150g plain Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 5–6 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 5–6 sprigs fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or crushed
  • ¼ cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
Needed kitchenware
  • Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions

1.

Place the diced chicken and red onion in a bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, herbs and paprika. Mix well and leave to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.

2.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.

3.

Thread the chicken and onion onto the skewers, alternating the pieces. Try to keep the chicken pieces a similar size so they cook evenly.

4.

Preheat a barbecue or griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for about 12–15 minutes, turning regularly, until the chicken is cooked through. The thickest piece should reach 75°C.

5.

Meanwhile, make the yoghurt sauce. Mix the Greek yoghurt, lemon juice, olive oil, mint, parsley, garlic and grated cucumber together.

6.

Serve the chicken skewers with the yoghurt sauce. Serve with a generous portion of salad or non-starchy vegetables.
