Chicken Tikka Kebabs in a richly spiced yogurt marinade. Grilled, barbecued or griddled to perfection An easy, family-pleasing dinner!
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts (approx 500g/17.5 oz) – chopped into bite-size chunks
120 g (1/2 cup) Greek yogurt or thick natural yogurt (full fat)
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
1 tbsp minced ginger
juice of half a lemon
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp mild chilli powder
pinch cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil for brushing onto the chicken before grilling
2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander
Instructions
✅Place the chicken breast pieces into a bowl or freezer bag with the yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, coriander, turmeric, cumin, paprika, chilli powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
✅Mix together so that everything is combined, then cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 2-3 hours.
✅If you’re using wooden skewers, place them in water to soak while the chicken is marinating. This will help to prevent them from burning during grilling.
✅Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and thread onto skewers.
✅Brush the chicken with the oil, then place on a griddle plate and cook, turning a couple of times, for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Alternatively, you can grill (broil) under a grill, or you can barbecue for the same amount of time.
✅Make sure the chicken is cooked by slicing it into a larger piece and ensuring it's no longer pink in the middle.
✅Serve with a sprinkling of freshly chopped coriander.
