Nif's Grilled Moroccan Chicken Skewers are inspired by the flavors of Morocco, known for their delicious and aromatic spice blends. These chicken skewers are marinated in a mixture of yogurt, honey, and curry powder, which helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. Grilling the chicken skewers adds a smoky and slightly charred flavor, which pairs well with the spices and freshness of the yogurt marinade. Serve these chicken skewers on a bed of rice or quinoa, with a side of veggies for a complete and satisfying meal.
