16 ounces (2 cups) nonfat yogurt
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons Zahtar, plus extra for sprinkling
2 tablespoons dried oregano

36 cherry tomatoes, yellow and red if available
18 grape leaves packed in brine, rinsed, and patted dry

Grate onion on large holes of a box grater. Combine with yogurt, garlic, cumin, zahtar, and oregano. Add chicken; combine. Cover with plastic; marinate 1 hour in refrigerator.
Sprinkle tomatoes with zahtar. Wrap each with half a grape leaf; secure by slipping onto skewer. Place six on each skewer.
Spray grill pan with cooking spray. Remove chicken from marinade; arrange six pieces on each skewer; do not pat off marinade. Discard remaining marinade. Sprinkle chicken with zahtar.
