Ingredients

  • 675 gms (1.5 lbs) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsps olive oil
  • 2 tbsps lemon juice
  • 240 mls (1 cup) plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 0.5 tsp ground coriander
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 4 zucchini, spiralized
  • 2 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer for more flavor.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  6. While the chicken is grilling, spiralize the zucchinis and set them aside.
  7. In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
  8. Remove the zucchini noodles from the heat and toss with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest.
  9. Serve the grilled Turkish chicken kebabs over the zucchini noodles and enjoy!
