Ingredients
  

  • 500 g chicken thighs chopped into bitesize pieces
  • 250 g greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil + a little extra for pan cooking
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • zest 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • handful coriander roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting your chicken thighs into bitesize pieces
  • Measure out your marinade ingredients
  • Put the chicken into a large mixing bowl
  • Add yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, salt, garlic and coriander
  • Stir the chicken well to coat with the marinade
  • Cover or place into a sealed tupperware and place the chicken in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight
  • Remove chicken from the fridge and prepare for cooking by placing one piece of chicken at a time onto the skewers, you should get 4 or 5. Place back into the fridge if not yet ready to cook
  • When ready to cook the chicken, get the pan hot first (we used a griddle pan) and put a drizzle of oil in the pan
  • Once the pan is hot, place each kebab down one at a time
  • After 3-4 minutes, turn the skewers and repeat on the other side, they should be browning nicely by now
  • Allow the chicken to continue cooking through, this will depend on how big your pieces are! They shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes
  • Serve
