Ingredients
Directions
- In a bowl, combine onion, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon pepper, saffron, yogurt, salt and pepper. Blend well.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken cubes in a large bowl with a lid. Make sure that all the chicken pieces are fully covered with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, and up to 24 hours.
- Make 4 different types of skewers by threading chicken pieces, red peppers, red onion, and tomatoes onto skewers. Then, place the skewers on a hot grill.
Cook the chicken at least 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Cook veggie skewers until desired doneness is achieved.
Check the doneness of the chicken kabob by cutting through one piece of chicken with a knife. If it is white and juicy, it is ready to eat. - Serve with tzatziki
