Ingredients

For the skewers
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Juice of a lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1" pieces
4 slices naan
For the salad
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
juice of a lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
2 small bunches radishes, thinly sliced
3 baby cucumbers
1/2 cup snap peas
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, oil, and spices in a shallow bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover, and marinade at room temperature for 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the grill on medium-high. Remove the chicken from the bowl, shaking off excess marinade. Tightly thread the meat onto 6 metal skewers (or soaked wood skewers.)
  4. Grill skewers, turning every 2-3 minutes until lightly charred and the chicken is cooked through about 10 minutes total. Add the naan to the grill a few minutes before serving. Remove from the chicken and naan from heat.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large salad bowl. Add radishes, cucumbers, peas, feta, and dill, then toss to coat.
  6. Serve kebabs with salad and grilled naan. Enjoy!
