Instructions

1. Grind the saffron to a fine powder in a pestle and mortar or spice grinder, then stir 1/4 teaspoon of it into 3 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced onion, crushed garlic, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, tomato purée, turmeric and the saffron water.
3. Add the chicken cubes, season with a large pinch of salt and pepper, and massage the marinade into the chicken until evenly coated.
4. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5. Shake off excess marinade, thread the chicken onto soaked skewers and discard the marinade and onions.
6. Lightly oil a gas grill or griddle and heat to medium-high. Cook the skewers uncovered for about 10-12 minutes in total, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
7. Sprinkle the cooked kebabs with finely chopped parsley and serve.
