Chicken Fillet Kebab in a Yogurt Marinade, With Bacon Instructions

  1. Cut the fillets into large 4 x 4 cm pieces.
  2. Prepare the marinade. To do this, rinse the parsley, dry, and chop finely. Chop the garlic on a fine grater or pass through a press.
  3. Combine chicken, yogurt, parsley, and garlic in a bowl, add salt and ground pepper.
  4. Stir and leave the chicken to marinate for 3-4 hours (or better overnight) in the refrigerator.
  5. Make yogurt sauce. To do this, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, and olive oil in a bowl. Finely chop the garlic and parsley and add to a bowl. Squeeze out the lemon juice and stir. The sauce is ready – send it to the refrigerator before serving.

  6. After the marinating time has passed, lightly dry the chicken pieces with a paper towel.
    Turn on the oven to heat up to 180 degrees.
  7. Wrap each piece of fillet in a strip of bacon and string 3-4 “rolls” on a wooden skewer. In this way, prepare the skewers from the remaining chicken and bacon.
