Instructions
Whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, salt and cayenne in a large bowl.
Add the chicken cubes and turn to coat every piece.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes so they do not scorch.
Thread the chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each cube so heat reaches all sides.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lay the skewers on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning once, until grill marks form and the chicken no longer looks pink at the center.
Check doneness with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece; it should read 165°F.
Rest the skewers on a platter for 3 minutes.
Squeeze lemon wedges over the top and scatter with parsley before serving.
Good to Know
Thread and marinate the skewers the night before so the only job left on game day is turning on the grill.
