Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken breast pieces, cumin, coriander, lemon zest, lemon juice, sesame oil, yogurt, parsley, and salt and pepper. Mix until the chicken is well incorporated with the ingredients. A yogurt marinade will be the final look.
- Put the seasoned chicken pieces onto wooden skewers.
- Place a skillet or cast-iron pan over a medium-high flame, once the pan is hot, drizzle on olive oil and gently lay each skewer onto the pan. Be careful not to over-crowed the pan, otherwise, you won’t get super crispy edges on the chicken.
- Cook on each side for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy . The internal temperature should reach 165 °F.
