Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Yogurt - 100 grams
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced
  • Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Whole wheat burger buns - 2
  • Lettuce leaves - 2
  • Tomato - 1, sliced
  • Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
  • Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced

Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil, yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning).
  6. Grill the chicken skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
  7. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
  8. Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each bun, followed by grilled chicken skewers, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions.
  9. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
