Marinated Chicken Kebabs
Marinating chicken pieces in spicy yogurt makes for tender, flavorful chicken. This is a great recipe for the grill or broiler. The yogurt marinade would work well with lamb or pork, too.

Prep Time: 4 hours

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Preparation:

Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and place in a large resealable plastic bag.

Combine yogurt, garlic, onion, spices and lemon juice in a small bowl. Spoon marinade into bag with chicken. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and move chicken pieces around until coated. Refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.

Soak wooden skewers in cold water 30 minutes before you intend to use them.

Spray grill with nonstick cooking spray then preheat grill to medium high. While grill is preheating, thread marinated chicken pieces on to presoaked skewers. Discard remaining marinade. Place skewers on grill rack and grill for 5-6 minutes each side or until cooked through.

Serves 4.

Serve with whole grain rice and mango chutney.
