A Unique Culinary Adventure
Discovering the flavors of a remote island requires innovation and creativity. Our inspiration for Penguin Isle Savory Yogurt Skewers originates from the magical landscapes and thrifted traditions of the chilly, fictional Penguin Isle that encourages warm gatherings around hearty meals.
History
Penguin Isle, as legend has it, is a mystical place nestled amidst glaciers and fjords.

Savory yogurt skewers were born from necessity; a blend of accessible ingredients with rich flavors to nourish the community during the island's long winters.
Ingredients
Preparation
Marinating the Chicken
Start by cutting the chicken breast into even cubes. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, a splash of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and stir to ensure all the cubes are well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Preparing the Skewers
While the chicken marinates, slice the cucumber into thick rounds. Thread marinated chicken cubes and cucumber slices alternately onto skewers. Make sure the pieces are snugly stacked.
Cooking Process
Preheat your grill to medium-high. Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the skewers on the grill and cook each side for about 7-10 minutes. Use a cooking timer to ensure precise timing. Check the doneness by seeing if the chicken is firm and grill marks appear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Garnishing and Serving
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped mint leaves and a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving. These skewers pair beautifully with a zesty yogurt dip or a refreshing salad.
