Ingredients

  • Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon zaatar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Chicken:
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted and cracked
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)

Preparation

Step 1

Special equipment: 8-inch skewers

For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, zaatar and salt. Set aside.

For the chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt and coriander seeds. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into 1/3-inch strips; add to the bowl and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to marinate.

Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Thread the chicken strips onto 8-inch skewers. Grill for about 4 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove to a platter. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.
