Preparation
Step 1
Stir together yogurt, juice, oil, zest, cumin, salt, pepper, saffron, coriander, garlic, and onions in a bowl; add chicken, and toss to coat. Chill for 4 hours.
Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, heat a gas grill to medium-high, or heat broiler to high.
Skewer chicken on 4 metal skewers, and skewer tomatoes lengthwise on another skewer.
Grill chicken and tomatoes, turning often, until tomatoes are soft and charred, about 7 minutes, and chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle skewers with sumac; serve with limes and lavash.
