Instructions

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, tomato paste, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Soak bamboo skewers if using. Line an oven-safe pan with foil. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers and place them on the pan's rim. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown; flip kebabs and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Let kebabs rest before slicing thinly with a sharp knife. Serve in wraps with salad ingredients or on a plate with rice and chips.
