Ingredients
For the skewers:

- 1 red pepper, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
- 1 yellow pepper, cut into 2.5 cm chunks
- 1 courgette, cut into thick slices
- 1 red onion, cut into 2.5 cm chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 x 15 cm Napoleon bamboo skewers
For the yoghurt and lemon sauce:
- 200 g plain Greek yoghurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation of the skewers:
- Soak the skewers: Place the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and mix well to infuse them with the marinade. Let stand in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Thread the ingredients: Take a bamboo skewer and alternate the chicken cubes with the pepper, courgette and onion pieces. Repeat until all skewers are complete.
- Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, turn it on about 10 minutes beforehand; if using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are nice and hot.
Cooking the skewers:
- Grill the skewers: place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly on all sides. The chicken should be golden brown and the vegetables lightly charred.
- Check for doneness: Make sure the chicken is cooked through before removing the skewers from the grill.
Preparation of the yoghurt and lemon sauce:
- Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Serve the sauce: Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator until the skewers are ready.
