A wonderful saffron chicken kebab recipe. Great when paired with slices of onions, peppers, mushrooms, and whole cherry tomatoes alternating with chicken on the skewers.

Ingredients

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large cubes
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup onion juice
1 cup olive oil
½ teaspoon chopped garlic
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon saffron
8 skewers, or as needed

Directions

Mix yogurt, lemon juice, onion juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, and saffron together in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate, 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken from marinade; thread through skewers. Discard unused marinade.
Cook on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side.

Cook's Note:

Use 1 finely chopped large onion in place of onion juice if desired.
