🧾 Ingredients
For the Chicken Skewers:
- 500g boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons Zaatar Spice Blend
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
For the Lemon Yoghurt Dip:
- 150g Greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Zaatar Spice Blend
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and Zaatar Spice Blend.
- Add the chicken pieces and toss until well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for extra flavour).
- Thread the chicken onto skewers.
- Grill or bake at 200°C for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
- Mix all dip ingredients in a small bowl and chill until serving time.
Chef’s Tip: Add sliced red onions or bell peppers to the skewers for colour and sweetness. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
