👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cut chicken breast into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and place them in a large bowl. Thinly slice the onion and add it to the chicken.
2. In a separate small bowl, combine saffron threads with a tablespoon of hot water, let it steep for 10 minutes to release color and flavor. Add the bloomed saffron water, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the chicken.
3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, discarding the onion slices.
5. Grill the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot with rice, grilled tomatoes, or fresh herbs.
