About

These chicken skewers are easy to make, flavorful, and moist. The yogurt in the marinade serves two purposes: It is a natural tenderizer and also adds deeper flavors to the tender chicken. Try pairing the chicken skewers with grilled vegetables, such as peppers, onions, and mushrooms, as we did in the photographed version.
