This is a recipe that I developed from a mixture of recipes, adapting to our tastes. I hope you enjoy it :) Time to make doesn't include time to marinate. Cooking time is an estimate, depending on how hot your grill is and how big your chicken cubes are. :)
Ingredients:
3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon pressed garlic
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
melted butter or olive oil, for brushing
lime, for serving
Directions:
1. Clean your chicken, and cut it into cubes for threading on skewers.
2. Take a fork and prick the chicken many times.
3. Put lemon juice in bowl with chicken, stir well, and set it aside.
4. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, salt and pepper.
5. Place the chicken in the bowl with the marinade, and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4-6 hours.
6. Thread chicken onto skewers.
7. Heat your grill with a nice flame and place chicken skewers on the grill.
8. Brush with butter or olive oil, and grill approximately 6 minutes on each side, or until done, having nice grill/char markiings.
9. Once you have grilled one side for 6 minutes, turn them over and brush with butter or olive oil, and grill 6 more minutes or until done.
10. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squirting on chicken pieces; YUM!
