Easy Marinade

Yogurt is one of my favorite “food groups”. I always have a large container in my refrigerator.

Like most marinades, this is quick and easy to make. After marinating the chicken for 4 hours, simply grill or bake, and dinner is ready.

  1. Heat the grill or a grill pan.
  2. If you are baking the chicken, bake it at 450° until the internal temperature reaches 165° – about 20 minutes. Rotate the chicken skewers 1/2 through cooking. Always check for doneness before serving.
  3. Grill on both sides until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • Uniformity is important when cutting the chicken and pepper into bite-sized pieces. Try to make the chicken pieces all similar sizes so that they cook at the same rate.
  • While the chicken is marinating, soak the bamboo skewers in water so they will not burn when placed on the grill or in the oven.
  • I like to serve these kabobs with my Creamy Cucumber Tomato Salad and some grill nann bread.
