finished Mediterranean Chicken KabobsThese chicken kabobs are delicious and really easy to put together. You can make these on your grill outside, inside your oven, or on a griddle. All result in a wonderfully aromatic and tender meal. I like to serve it with a lemon tahini sauce and thick Persian flatbread. I've added my lemon tahini sauce recipe here with the kabobs.

These kabobs are really nice served over your favorite rice cooked in chicken broth and then very lightly flavored with a bit of lemon juice.

I sometimes grill my veggies on skewers separate from the meat because a few varieties don't cook in the same amount of time, so I make an extra batch of marinade for them.

I am looking for a recipe for grilled chicken kabob marinated in plain yogurt. I had this chicken kabob at a restaurant, it was unbelievable. The waitress said that it was marinated in plain yogurt, but I figure there has to be something more to it. Does anyone have a recipe using plain yogurt for marinating?

This might work....
1/2 c yogurt (I prefer Greek, and fat free, but any plain should do)
3 cloves minced garlic (again, I used more, but I love garlic)

2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp fresh ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cumin

The recipe called for 4-6 boneless chicken breasts, but I used boneless, skinless thighs, and it was fantastic.

Grill over indirect medium heat for about 20 mins until done. Could be done inside on a grill pan, but be sure not to exceed a medium flame.
