Preparation

Step 1

Place the chicken into a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, paprika, lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper, turmeric and cilantro. Mix well, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours to marinate.

Step 2

Transfer the chicken from the refrigerator. 

Step 3

Thread 4 pieces of chicken onto a 1 skewer, folding the chicken as you thread it through the skewer, leaving a 1 inch border without chicken on both sides. Repeat threading the remaining chicken into skewers. 

Step 4

Place the grill or a skillet on medium-high heat and lightly brush it with olive oil. Place as many skewers that can fit onto the grill or skillet and cook on each side until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks, about 3-5 minutes on each side. 

Step 5

Serve the chicken skewers hot immediately.
