Instructions
- 1
Cut the chicken breast into 3 cm cubes.
- 2
Make a marinade with zahter, olive oil, yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice.
- 3
Mix the chicken with the marinade and rest it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
30 min30:00 - 4
Thread the chicken onto skewers without crowding the pieces so heat can pass between them.
- 5
Grill the skewers over medium-hot heat for 12 minutes, turning several times.
12 min12:00 - 6
Serve hot with lavash, sumac onions, and roasted peppers.
💡 Tip: Mixing zahter into the marinade early leaves a more even spice layer on the chicken. The yogurt opens the aroma, and a 3 hour rest gives the quickly grilled skewers a balanced taste.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with lavash, sumac onions, and roasted peppers.
