Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Preparation
Start by marinating the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water if using them to prevent burning during grilling.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers. This colorful arrangement ensures a balanced mix of flavors in every bite.
Grilling
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Yogurt Dip
While the skewers are grilling, prepare the yogurt dip. Combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs like parsley or mint, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hot skewers with a generous side of the yogurt dip. Accompany with a fresh green salad or whole-grain pita for a complete meal. This dish is perfect for those seeking a balanced diet with lean protein, vegetables, and probiotics.
