Garlic-Yogurt Marinated Chicken Skewers with Pomegranate Onion Salad

A thick yogurt marinade loaded with garlic, lemon, and cumin does double duty here — it keeps the chicken tender on the grill and delivers plenty of garlic, common in immune-supportive cooking, into every bite.

Alongside, a quick salad of red onion and pomegranate seeds tossed with parsley and sumac brings genuine brightness and vitamin C to the plate, cutting through the richness of the charred, spiced chicken. It's a Middle Eastern-style plate built for sharing.

Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill or pan-sear until lightly charred at the edges, then pile the pomegranate salad right alongside. It's a great warm-weather dinner, but works just as well cooked indoors on a grill pan.
