Equipment

  • 1 grill pan OR grill

Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups baby potatoes diced
  • 2 cups green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sumac

Instructions

  • First, prep the marinade by whisking all marinade ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the chicken by butterflying it open. To do this, cut it in half lengthwise, but not all the way through. Just enough to open it up like a book.
  • Then slice the chicken into 1 inch thick strips.
  • Place the chicken in the marinade and cover with saran wrap. Refrigerate 2-12 hours.
  • When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the fridge and set aside while you prepare the veggies.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a bowl combine the diced baby potatoes and trimmed green beans with olive oil, salt and sumac seasoning.
  • Toss well and pour the mixture onto a sheet pan.
  • Roast for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Meanwhile skewer the chicken by sliding the slices onto the skewer in a snake like pattern. I did about 2 strips of chicken per skewer.
  • Heat a grill pan or cast iron pan over medium high heat and begin the grill the chicken kebabs. I did this in 2 batches.
  • Grill for 5 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • When all kebabs are done, serve them with the sumac roasted vegetables and enjoy
