Afghani Chicken Kebabs

There is a story behind how we discovered this recipe. We have a fantastic book club and every month we discuss a book and enjoy foods that relate to that book. After reading The Kite Runner, we looked up Afghani recipes and this one looked easy and good. Who knew that so few ingredients would taste to delicious? This has become one of our favorite meals to serve guests. The taste is absolutely divine. --Stacy

Ingredients:

1 cup plain yogurt
1 ½ T salt
½ T black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ lb chicken breast, cubed

Instructions:

Mix the yogurt and spices. Then add the chicken pieces. Mix well so all the chicken is coated. Marinate for 1-2 hours at room temperature. Add to skewer. Cook until done.

Notes:

Cooking the meat on a grill or over an open flame is the best. We made them in the oven one time when our grill ran out of gas and they were still tasty, but not nearly as good as grilled. And never, ever serve these kebabs without na’an.
