Ingredients

Scale

lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1” – 2” pieces

½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt

8 garlic cloves, minced

1 lemon, zested & juiced

1 TB fresh oregano, minced

1 TB fresh rosemary, minced

1 TB fresh mint, minced

2 tsps paprika

2 tsps ground cumin

Instructions

In a large bowl or gallon ziplock bag, mix together the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest and juice, oregano, rosemary, mint, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a mix to thoroughly coat. Let marinade for one hour or overnight.

When ready, thread the chicken onto metal or wood skewers. Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray. Heat the grill, bringing the temperature up to around 400°F. Add the chicken skewers and cook for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through, turning and rotating often to ensure even cooking.

Serve immediately with a Greek salad, warmed flatbread, and tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
