Ingredients
1 lb / 450g Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (non-fat or full-fat)
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (high smoke point)
2 medium Cherry Tomatoes (halved for skewers)
1/2 tbsp (7g) Kalamata Olives (pitted)
1 minced Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
1/4 cup Dried Cranberries (unsweetened)
1/2 tbsp (7g) Pine Nuts
Instructions
Cut chicken into 2-inch cubes
In a bowl, mix yogurt, 1 clove garlic mince, and fresh rosemary to create marinade
Add chicken cubes to marinade, ensuring full coverage
Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours (ideally 12+ hours)
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers alternating with halved cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives
Preheat grill to 450°F (230°C) using chimney starter
Place skewers on preheated grill with aluminum foil under grate for even heating
Grill 5 minutes per side, flipping once for evenly cooked, charred results
Notes
For richer flavor, substitute 50% boneless chicken thighs (500g)
Use pistachios instead of pine nuts for a Mediterranean twist
Marinating longer (12+ hours) enhances flavor penetration
Serve with pomegranate molasses for the acidic punch mentioned in testing
