Yogurt marinated chicken and an easy delicious yogurt dip make these kabobs perfect when you’re looking for something super flavourful and healthy to grill.
The chicken is extra juicy because its marinated in yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and spices before skewering alongside the pineapple and onion to place on the grill. I like to make a tzatziki style sauce at home to go with these and normally pair it with some fresh naan or pita.
Hope you make these soon and let me know how it goes. Enjoy 🙂

Directions
