🌿 Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

• 1/4 tsp saffron threads (soaked in 2 tbsp warm water)

• 2 tbsp plain yogurt

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Lemon juice (from half a lemon)

• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

🔥 Instructions

➤ Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips (about 1/2 inch thick).

2. Place the strips in a bowl and set aside.

➤ Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

1. In a separate bowl, combine saffron water, yogurt, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.

2. Pour the marinade over the chicken strips, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

➤ Step 3: Spiral the Chicken

1. After marinating, take each strip of chicken and carefully spiral it around a skewer. Repeat until all chicken strips are skewered and spiraled.

➤ Step 4: Cook the Kebabs

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat with a bit of olive oil.

2. Once hot, add the skewers to the pan. Cook the kebabs for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

➤ Step 5: Serve

1. Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the pan and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

2. Serve with a side of saffron rice, a light salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.

💡 Pro Tips

• For extra crispiness, make sure the pan is hot before adding the skewers.

• If you don’t have skewers, you can also cook the marinated chicken strips directly in the pan, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
