A flavorful and easy-to-make Moroccan-inspired chicken skewer recipe, perfect for grilling and serving with a spiced yogurt dip.
Combine olive oil, ground coriander, cumin, salt, cinnamon, cayenne, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the chicken to coat evenly.
Letting the chicken marinate overnight enhances the flavor.
Prepare the yogurt dip by mixing plain yogurt, honey, and curry powder in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Chilling the dip allows the flavors to meld together.
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring even spacing for uniform cooking.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill the skewers over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the grilled chicken skewers with the spiced yogurt dip on the side.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added color and flavor.
