Middle Eastern Style Shawarma Chicken Skewers

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.

2. 2

   Add the plain yogurt, olive oil, shawarma spice mix, and lemon juice to the bowl with the chicken. Mix well to coat all the pieces evenly.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for best flavor).

4. 4

   While the chicken is marinating, cut the red onion and green bell pepper into chunks suitable for skewering.

5. 5

   Thread the marinated chicken pieces, red onion, and green bell pepper alternately onto skewers.

6. 6

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates if necessary.

7. 7

   Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

8. 8

   Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

9. 9

   Serve hot with your favorite sides such as pita bread, salad, or garlic sauce.
