Method

  1. 1

    Mix the natural yoghurt, garlic cloves, lemon juice, smoked paprika, dried oregano and olive oil in a bowl, then add the diced chicken thigh fillets and turn to coat; marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Thread the chicken onto metal skewers, alternating with chunks of the red and green pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat a griddle pan, barbecue or grill to very hot and cook the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining and the juices run clear.

  4. 4

    Rest for 2 minutes before serving.
