These lemon and herb marinated chicken kebabs offer a bright and zesty Mediterranean-inspired meal that is naturally low in carbohydrates. By marinating the lean chicken breast overnight in a blend of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh rosemary and thyme, the meat remains incredibly tender and succulent once grilled. The accompanying yogurt sauce provides a cooling, creamy element with a sharp citrus punch, making it a sophisticated alternative to shop-bought condiments.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this high-protein dish focuses on healthy fats and fresh aromatics rather than added sugars. These skewers are perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick midweek supper when paired with a crisp green salad or chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables. This recipe proves that heart-healthy eating can be deeply savoury and satisfying without any compromise on flavour.

How to make Marinated Chicken Kebabs with Lemon Pepper Yoghurt Sauce
For the kebabs: in a plastic bag or airtight container, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Add chicken, toss well to coat evenly, and refrigerate overnight.
For the sauce, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Remove chicken pieces from marinade and season well with salt and pepper. Grill chicken for 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and juices of chicken run clear when pricked with the end of the skewer. Thread 3 pieces of chicken onto each skewer. Serve with Lemon-Pepper Yoghurt Sauce.
