Grilled Paprika Yogurt Chicken Kabobs

These Grilled Yogurt Chicken Kabobs are so good and so easy, that they’re bound to become a summertime staple!
When asked what my favorite grilled food is, I vacillate wildly between carnivorous and herbivorous tendencies. And then there are kabobs. All the meat and veggies you could want, all on one handy stick. If you prefer to go meatless, load up on veggies such as peppers, zucchini, mushrooms and onions. For a meat lover’s version, thread pieces of marinated steak, chicken, lamb or pork onto skewers. Or do a little mixing and matching for the best of both worlds.
Prep time: 1 hour, 30 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 1 hr, 45 min
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, divided
1 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 1/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed & cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 red onion, rings separated & cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Directions
In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, 1 ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and garlic powder.
Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat.
Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
Place the onion and red bell pepper pieces in a medium bowl.
Toss with olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
If using wooden skewers, soak in warm water for at least 30 minutes.
Lightly brush the grill with canola oil.
Thread the chicken (shake off and discard excess marinade), onion and red bell pepper pieces onto 6 skewers.
Sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Grilled until the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
Serve.
