Middle Eastern-Style Grilled Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (Trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1½-inch pieces; pre-soaked in vinegar water for 2–3 hours.)
• vinegar (Used with water to pre-soak the chicken for 2–3 hours; amount not stated.)
• water (Used with vinegar to pre-soak the chicken for 2–3 hours; amount not stated.)
• 5 tbsp plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• salt (To taste.)
• 1 tbsp red chili flakes
• 1 lemon lemon juice (The juice of 1 lemon.)
• 2 tbsp chicken spice
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 3 tbsp unsweetened heavy whipping cream
• garlic powder (Mentioned in the description but no quantity is provided.)
• 1 onion (Diced into small cubes.)
• mixed bell peppers (Amount not stated; cut into pieces suitable for skewering.)

Steps

1. 1

   If following the stated preparation, pre-soak the trimmed, 1½-inch chicken pieces in vinegar water for 2–3 hours. The source does not specify the vinegar-to-water ratio.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, heavy cream, lemon juice, black pepper, salt, red chili flakes, chicken spice, cumin powder, and garlic powder. Stir until the marinade is combined.

3. 3

   Add the chicken, diced onion, and mixed bell peppers to the marinade. Mix well so the chicken and vegetables are coated.

4. 4

   Marinate the mixture for at least 4–5 hours, or overnight.

5. 5

   Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers.

6. 6

   Bake the skewers at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.

7. 7

   Serve with garlic sauce. The source also says “recipe,” but does not identify what additional accompaniment this refers to.

Notes

The source calls these grilled chicken skewers but specifies baking at 400°F (200°C). It does not state the quantity of mixed bell peppers, the garlic powder quantity, the vinegar-water ratio, or a chicken doneness temperature. “Serve with recipe and garlic sauce” appears to contain a wording error; only garlic sauce is identifiable as an accompaniment.
