Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Yogurt Sauce These Grilled Chicken Kabobs are marinated in lemon juice, olive oil, za’atar, and garlic and served with a cucumber yogurt sauce on the side.

If you plan on doing this, it’s best to double up on the skewers so the lemon and shrimp doesn’t rotate around the stick when you’re grilling. I actually forgot to do this and added the second stick after so it’s not as spaced as I would have liked the sticks to be. Hope you enjoy!...
