Ingredients

  • Marinade:
  • 4 skinless, boneless breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
  • vegetable oil for brushing
  • 8 wooden skewers (soaked in water)
  • 2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 inch of fresh garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Dip: (optional)
  • 2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon mint jelly

Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken in non metal bowl, sprinkle with salt & lemon juice. Toss and set aside for 10 minutes.

Make marinade by combining all marinade ingredients in a small bowl.

Thread cubes of chicken onto pre-soaked skewers. Brush marinade onto chicken, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (ideally overnight).

Cook skewers on a grill lightly coating with oil as you turn so they don't stick. Turn frequently and cook about 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, if using, mix dip.
