Calories 158kcal

1 ½ - 2 pounds chicken thighs trim and remove any fat and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup plain greek yogurt
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cloves garlic minced
1 lemon juiced and zested
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
10-12 6 inch wooden skewers

Combine the marinade ingredients - add the olive oil, greek yogurt, tomato paste, garlic, lemon, Italian seasoning, cinnamon, cumin, salt and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
Remove any excess fat from the chicken. Dice the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken to the marinade. Mix together well, and massage the marinade into the meat.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
When you're ready to grill, soak the bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes.
Thread the chicken onto the soaked skewers. This will make 10-12 six-inch skewers. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side until the kabobs have a nice sear and are cooked completely.
