Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 100 grams Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 Skewers
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red and green bell peppers and onion into similar sized chunks.
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garam masala, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix until the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, red and green bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred on the outside.
Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side salad or low carb dip.
