Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl.

In a small bowl, mix the 0.5 cup yogurt, juice of 1 lemon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat, and let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

Thread the chicken onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.

Grill over medium-high charcoal or gas heat, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
