Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup milk if needed
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tbs sumac
  • 1 tbs minced garlic
  • 1 tsp salt / pepper
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 1 tbs hot paprika
  • 1 tbs cumin
Salad
  • Mixed greens
  • julienned cucumber
  • diced apple soaked for 10 minutes in apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Dice the chicken breast in to 1 inch cubes.
  2. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and marinated the chicken for at least 2 hours, up to 24.
  3. Soak 5 bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Turn oven on to broil.
  5. Prepare a sheet tray with aluminum foil twice the length of the pan.
  6. Scrunch up the foil every half inch to create peaks for the chicken to rest, preventing it from sitting flat on the surface.
  7. Divide chicken in fifths and spear on to the skewers. Remove excess marinade.
  8. Place on foil and broil until it starts to get brown, about 10 minutes.  
  9. Flip and repeat until corners and edges are charred.
  10. Remove from skewers and dress with tahini.
