Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 units Wooden skewers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Dice the boneless chicken breast into approximately 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
In a blender, combine Greek yogurt, garlic cloves, ginger, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
In a large bowl, add the diced chicken pieces and pour over the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well-coated, cover the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance grilling.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Garnish the kababs with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the chicken kababs hot with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad, raita, or naan bread.
