Baharat Chicken Kebabs

Name: Baharat Chicken Kebabs
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts; 1 cup plain yogurt (middle-eastern if available); 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1-2 tablespoons baharat spice blend; 2 lemons, juiced; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 each, vegetables of your choice, cut into chunks (onions, zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers); to taste, salt

We make these year round. Great for barbecues or for mid-winter dinners. We have been making chicken kababs in yogurt-spice marinade for years, but the Baharat spice mix makes it easier. Yogurt is a great tenderizer for meat. If marinated overnight, the kababs take minimal time and effort to put together.
