  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by mixing Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, tomato paste, paprika, salt, oregano (or thyme), and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onion; sauté until translucent. Stir in Basmati rice and coat with oil. Add chicken broth and salt; bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers and grill each side for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Serve by placing rice in bowls topped with grilled chicken skewers, fresh veggies, herbs, and a dollop of hummus.
