Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 120 grams Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1 Red onion
- 8 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, paprika, garam masala, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
While the chicken marinates, cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Once the chicken has marinated, thread the chicken, bell peppers, and red onion alternately onto the soaked skewers, ensuring a good balance of ingredients.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using a grill, brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if baking in the oven.
Cook the kebabs for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the kebabs from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the exotic chicken kebabs hot with mint chutney, garlic sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
