Yogurt Spiced Marinated Chicken Skewers with Herb Salad

By Lindsey Baruch @lindseyeats

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 min Marinade, 15 min Cook

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade
  •  boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  •  Straus Family Creamery Greek Yogurt, plus more for serving
  •  garlic, grated
  •  fresh ginger, grated
  •  ground cumin
  •  smoked paprika
  •  cayenne pepper
  •  turmeric powder
  •  to taste
  •  1 small lemon, plus 1 large lemon, halved, for grilling
  •  extra-virgin olive oil
Herb Salad
  •  fresh parsley, roughly torn
  •  fresh mint, whole with stems removed
  •  chives, finely chopped
  •  fresh dill, roughly torn with stems removed
  •  to taste
  •  for serving

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast with yogurt, minced garlic, minced ginger, cumin, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, salt, pepper, lemon zest, juice, and olive oil. Mix until completely combined with the chicken. Cover and transfer to the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

  • If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Then thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the edges. Toward the last minute or so, add on your lemon halves to char.

  • While the chicken cooks, in a bowl, combine parsley, mint, chives, dill, salt, and pepper and toss to combine. Before serving, top with lemon zest.

  • Plate the skewers alongside the herb salad on a platter. Serve with the charred lemon halves and a dollop of yogurt tossed with salt and pepper on the side for dipping.

Homemade Magic Shell

Magic Shell is the ultimate ice cream topping. It takes @pastrywithjenn back to her childhood, drizzling it over ice cream and cracking it once it freezes. The classic flavor is chocolate, but for this recipe, she used white chocolate to flavor with raspberry and matcha powders. The coconut oil melts when heated but solidifies at room temperature, contributing to the crackability.
