Restaurant Style Chicken Kebabs/Kabobs

Last Updated on January 1, 2023 by Jacqueline Rafidi

Nothing screams Middle Eastern food like some grilled Kebabs on the table! Chicken Kebabs happen to be one of my favorite meals in the world! There are so many delicious variations of this dish, but I am going to show you a technique that my family and I love to use. A tangy yogurt marinade gives these chicken kebabs the tender and succulent flare that is envisioned with thinking of the dish! The aromatic spices not only add a punch of flavor to each bite, but they make the whole kebab beautiful and golden once they’re grilled. Make these, and you will soon see why I love chicken kebabs so much!

Served with a side of fluffy rice pilaf, grilled vegetables, yogurt sauce and a side salad, you’ve got a gourmet meal right at home!
