For the Marinade

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until creamy and well-combined.
  2. Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
  4. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, 4 to 5 pieces per skewer, for even cooking.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium heat (350°F to 400°F). Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and cooked through.
  6. Remove from the grill and let the kabobs rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
