Number Of Ingredients 11

1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup 5 percent-fat Greek yogurt
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 large red onion, cut into 6 wedges with root end intact
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 teaspoons za'atar, plus more for sprinkling
6 pitas (each 6 inches)
2 mini cucumbers, halved lengthwise and chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle garlic with salt; mash into a paste with the side of a knife. Stir into yogurt; season with salt and pepper.

These kebabs were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them.

I would recommend using a different type of marinade. The one in this recipe was a little too bland for my taste.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make when I'm short on time. The chicken marinates while I'm at work and then it's just a matter of grilling them up.
