These Savory Herb Chicken Skewers are a delightful blend of traditional marinated chicken with a creative twist of fresh herbs and a zesty lemon-garlic yogurt sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the lemon-garlic yogurt sauce by mixing plain yogurt, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
5. Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Serve the chicken skewers hot with the lemon-garlic yogurt sauce on the side.
