Moroccan Style Chicken Kabobs

These Moroccan chicken kabobs are super easy to prepare. Mix all of the marinade ingredients together. You can use either chicken breast or thigh. They need to marinate for at least 4 hours. Overnight is always better. You can either grill or broil the kabobs. They’ll take 7-8 minutes a side. The yogurt sauce is equally as easy to make. Mix everything together and refrigerate before serving.
The marinade is also great to use on chicken pieces, shrimp, tuna, swordfish, mackerel, and snapper.
