- Fresh parsley lemon, and/or yogurt sauce to serve, optional
- Chicken Kebab Marinade
- 1 cup plain yogurt 2% or full fat
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano dried or 1 tbsp fresh
- 1/2 tsp cumin

Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken and vegetables if using, and toss until they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (or 230°C). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with aluminum foil or any broiler-safe material (for grilling instructions, please see the notes below).
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto a set of metal skewers, and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 165°F (or 74°C).
Switch the oven to broil and cook for another 2-3 minutes for a lightly charred finish. Garnish and serve with your preferred sides dishes. Enjoy!
