Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
3/4 cup parsley
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lemon, juice and zest
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp coriander
Directions:
Directions:
Combine the yogurt, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, salt, paprika, and coriander. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight.

When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Thread onto skewers. These can also be cooked without the skewers. If making skewers, consider adding some of your favorite veggies.

To grill: Place on a medium hot grill for 10-15 minutes, turning once, or until chicken is fully cooked.

To broil: Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Broil for 10-12 minutes, turning 1-2 times, or until chicken is cooked through.

Personal Notes:
Easy and has a ton of flavor. I never knew marinating in yogurt would be so good. I use the same marinade for chicken cutlets too, but that usually leads to an argument about how I'm doing it wrong.
