Ingredients

  • 1. 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast 2. 8 medium zucchini 3. 1 cup cherry tomatoes 4. 1 red bell pepper 5. 1 yellow bell pepper 6. 1/4 cup olive oil 7. 2 tbsp lemon juice 8. 1 tsp garlic powder 9. Salt and black pepper, to taste 10. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 11. 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill 12. 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint 13. 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breast into 1 inch cubes and thread onto skewers along with cherry tomatoes and bell peppers.

  5. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, dill, mint, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a sauce.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  7. Divide the zucchini noodles among 4 plates, top with grilled skewers, and drizzle with yogurt sauce. Serve immediately.
