-Add the diced onion and lemon juice to a blender and puree into a smooth paste. You can also finely grate the onion instead and add the lemon juice to it.
Dissolve the crushed saffron threads in 1-2 tablespoons of hot water in a bowl for 2-3 minutes
Add the onion-lemon juice paste, yogurt, turmeric, pepper and salt to the saffron bowl and mix well. This is your marinade.
Add the marinade to the cubed chicken breast in either a zip lock bag or a bowl and allow the chicken cubes to marinate for a minimum of 2 hours but preferably overnight for the best tasting kebabs.
Skewer the meat onto flat skewers and cook on the grill (charcoal is best!) until the meat is cooked through.
-Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the kebabs when done and serve garnished with onion & chopped parsley.
