Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into large chunks
½ cup plain whole milk yogurt
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon paprika
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, add the ingredients for the marinade (yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, all the seasoning and salt/pepper) and whisk to combine.

Place the chicken cubes in the same bowl and coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover, and let rest/marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Thread the chicken on skewers right before grilling. Add one wedge of onions to each skewer, if desired.

Grill on medium heat for 5-8 minutes per side.

Serve with pita bread, lettuce and garlic sauce, if desired.
