1 cup Greek yogurt, whole milk, plain
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 teaspoons Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Crushed Red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 Zest from one lemon
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
1-3/4 teaspoon Salt
5 cloves Garlic, minced
2-1/2 pounds Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, trimmed & cut into bite-sized pieces
1 Red Onion, large

Steps:

In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic.
Thread chicken onto skewers, alternating occasionally with onion.
Place kebabs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Spoon or brush the marinade all over the meat, coating well. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grease the grill. Grill kebabs until golden brown and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the skewers to a platter and serve.
