Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes and set aside.
In a blender, add the garlic cloves, ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Blend until a smooth paste is formed.
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the blended paste and the plain Greek yogurt. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate, allowing the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Preheat your grill or oven. If using a grill, preheat to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (390°F).
Place the skewers on the grill or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil if using an oven.
Grill the chicken skewers for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks. If using an oven, bake the skewers for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the sugar-free chicken kababs hot with a side of your favorite salad or dip.
