Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 150 grams Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes.
Chop the green, red, and yellow bell peppers into squares similar in size to the chicken pieces.
Cut the onion into squares about the same size as the bell peppers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, lemon juice, and cooking oil to make a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onions onto the skewers, alternating between each item.
Place the skewers onto the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the chicken shashlik immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
