1

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, oil, garlic, tomato paste, salt, oregano, pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and cardamom. Add the chicken and toss to coat; place it into a resealable plastic bag, press out excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
2

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3

Thread the chicken, onions, and bell pepper onto metal skewers.
4

Grill on the preheated grill until the chicken is golden and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Sprinkle parsley over the skewers.
