Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and thread the pieces onto skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the Jujeh Kabab with saffron-infused rice, grilled tomatoes, and fresh herbs for a complete and delightful meal.
