Succulent Yogurt Marinated Chicken Kebabs

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, minced

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 Tbsp. olive oil

3/4 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

4-6 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch cubes

6 pita breads wrapped in aluminum foil

1 cup cleaned and chopped romaine lettuce

Preheat broiler on high. (Or use covered grill).

Mix all ingredients except pita, chicken and lettuce in a bowl and pour a re-sealable bag. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Set rack to middle and bottom third of oven.

Take the chicken out of the bag and place on skewers about 1/2 inches apart. Set skewers on cooling rack on top of aluminum foil covered baking sheet (to minimize cleaning).

Place skewers on to middle oven rack and cook about 20-30 minutes until cooked through. Turn them at least once during cooking. Be careful not to overcook! For the last five minutes of cooking put the pita in the rack under the rack with the chicken to warm.

Place the chicken into the pita and garnish with romaine lettuce. Serve with hummus or rice if desired.
