Ingredients
500 grams chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 bunch fresh coriander, finely chopped
2 green chili peppers, minced
1 tablespoon chicken tikka masala powder
2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place in a mixing bowl.
Add the plain yogurt, finely chopped fresh coriander, minced green chili peppers, chicken tikka masala powder, and salt to the bowl with the chicken.
Stir well until all chicken pieces are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers or wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes).
Heat ghee or oil in a large grill pan or on a charcoal grill over medium-high heat.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the exterior has light char marks.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and allow to rest for 2 minutes before serving hot.
Comments
Tikka masala powder and ghee will require a second stop at either Harris Teeter or Kroger in Charlotte, since neither ALDI, Food Lion, nor Walmart stocks these reliably; budget an extra errand into your weeknight math. The chicken and yogurt cost roughly $12–14 for four servings, moderate for a protein-forward dish, but the specialty spices and clarified butter bump per-serving cost to around $3–3.50, higher than simpler chicken recipes. The 45-minute stated time ignores marinating—even 30 minutes in yogurt and spices is necessary for real flavor, so plan for at least 75 minutes total. This is a straightforward grill or broil job with no fussy technique, and it holds reasonably well as a cold leftover or reheated gently, making it flexible for families who eat at different times.
