Ingredients

3 Tbsp yoghurt
juice of half a lemon, approx 25ml
small sprig rosemary, leaves only, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp mild chilli flakes, or pul biber, see note
1 tsp paprika powder
½ tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, crushed
250 g thick Greek-Style yoghurt
½ a cucumber, skin peeled if very thick, finely diced
½ tsp salt
750 g chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, diced in bite-sized pieces
3 red onions, peeled and quartered
4 large flatbreads
2 red or green bell peppers/capsicums, in 2.5cm / 1in. dice
1 Tbsp runny honey
1 Tbsp pomegranate molasses
lemon slices

Steps:

Up to 24 hours before you want to cook the chicken, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add the chicken, stir well to coat, then cover and refrigerate until needed. Even half an hour in the marinade is better than nothing at all, though several hours is better.
To make the Tzatziki/Cacık, stir together all ingredients and chill until needed. Can be made up to 8 hours in advance.
To prepare the kebabs, thread the chicken onto metal skewers, alternating with onion and bell pepper (if using). If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for half an hour before using. Heat the grill or BBQ to medium-high, brush with oil and cook the chicken kebabs for 10 minutes, turning halfway, until charred and cooked through. If using, drizzle with a little honey and pomegranate molasses in the last 2 minutes of grilling.
Serve immediately with Tzatziki/Cacık, lemon slices, and flatbreads.
