We've added an editor's note about broiling the chicken rather than grilling it. If you use regular skewers without decorations, feel free to skewer the chicken before you place it on the grill. Ingredients:
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil |
juice of 3 lemons |
2 tablespoons chopped garlic |
3/4 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves (about 4 sprigs) |
3/4 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (about 5 sprigs) |
6 single boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cleaned of fat and cut into large cubes |
salt and black pepper to taste |
bamboo skewers |
2 (7-ounce) containers plain yogurt |
4 tablespoons sour cream |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
zest of 2 lemons (fine) |
juice of 1 lemon |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 tablespoon black pepper |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. 1. For the kebabs: in a plastic bag or airtight container, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Add chicken, toss well to coat evenly, and refrigerate overnight.
2. 2. For the sauce, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
3. 3. Remove chicken pieces from marinade and season well with salt and pepper. Grill chicken for 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and juices of chicken run clear when pricked with the end of the skewer. Thread 3 pieces of chicken onto each skewer. Serve with Lemon-Pepper Yogurt Sauce.
