Grilled Chicken Shawarma Kebab

These kebabs were a great, quick summer meal. I did marinate them overnight, which worked out well. We served this with tzatziki sauce, cucumber and tomato salad, and asparagus. Definitely a repeat.

  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp cardamom
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp salt

Cut chicken into 1” pieces. In a large bowl combine yogurt, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric and salt. Add chicken to bowl and toss until chicken is coated in marinade. Cover and place in refrigerated for 1 hour or up to overnight.

Using soaked bamboo or metal skewers, tightly skewer the meat.

Preheat grill to medium heat. Place marinated skewers on grill and cook until chicken is cooked through, turning often.
