Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 chicken breast

Marinade:

  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 ½ tsp curry powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Serving:

  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Raita
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • Start by making the marinade. Juice half of a lemon and combine all of the ingredients in a measuring cup.
    ½ cup plain yogurt, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 ½ tsp curry powder, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • Next prep the chicken. Instead of cubes, I like to cut the chicken lengthwise into slices about half an inch thick.

  • Combine the chicken and marinade in a sealable container and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • 15 minutes before grilling, put the wooden skewers in water to soak.
  • When you’re ready to grill, turn on the barbecue to heat up on high.
  • Take the chicken out of the fridge and put it on skewers. Fold the chicken back and forth while you skewer like an accordion. This will prevent it from drying out.
  • Once the barbecue is hot, place the skewered chicken on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. Mine took about 8 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the grill and serve hot topped with fresh cilantro with raita dip and lemon wedges on the side.
