🧾 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

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and Zaatar Spice Blend.
2. Add the chicken and toss until well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes — or up to 4 hours for deeper flavour.
3. Thread the chicken onto skewers.
4. Grill or bake at 200°C for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
5. Mix all dip ingredients in a small bowl and chill until serving time.

Chef’s Tip: Thread sliced red onions or bell peppers onto the skewers for colour and sweetness. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

🍋 Serving Suggestions

• Serve with warm pita bread or a side of Za’atar Roasted Vegetables.
• Pair with lemon rice, couscous or a simple tomato salad.
• Drizzle extra yoghurt dip on top and sprinkle with more Zaatar Spice Blend for garnish.

Light, zesty and full of smoky, herby depth — this is simple food with serious flavour, made for BBQ season and easy entertaining.

🌿 Why It Works

The Zaatar Spice Blend infuses the chicken with smoky, tangy and earthy warmth, while the cool lemon yoghurt dip balances every bite perfectly. Quick enough for weeknights, but impressive enough for guests — it tastes like you spent hours!

🥄 Spice It Up Further

For a veggie twist: swap the chicken for halloumi cubes or mushrooms. The blend works beautifully brushed over grilled aubergine, courgette and roasted vegetables too.
