Aji Amarillo Yogurt Marinated Chicken Kabobs
Spicy and packed with flavor, Aji Amarillo Yogurt Marinated Chicken Kabobs, are a great way to jazz up your dinner routine. Made with Peruvian aji amarillo chile powder, garlic, spices, and Greek yogurt, this flavorful marinade creates mouth-watering chicken!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cubed
- 5.3 ounce container of plain Greek yogurt I use Chobani
- 1 tablespoon Aji amarillo chile pepper powder use less for less spiciness
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: vegetables for veggie kabobs
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, yogurt, and spices. Mix everything together so it's all incorporated and the chicken is coated well. Marinate for 1-2 hours. If using a gas or charcoal grill, make sure to soak your wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes so they don't catch on fire while grilling.
- Thread all the chicken pieces onto skewers. Cook on grill, grill pan, or griddle over medium, medium/high heat for about 5-6 minutes and then turn them, so each side eventually touches the heat. Cook until a meat thermometer reads 165° in the thickest part of the chicken.
- Serve with veggie kabobs, rice, salad, or your favorite sides! Enjoy!
Notes
- If making veggies with the kabobs, I like to skewer the chicken and veggies separately for even cooking.
- Store leftover chicken in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
