Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.
  4. Step 4: Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until cooked through and lightly charred.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with the chilled garlic yogurt sauce for dipping.
