Chicken Tikka Skewers

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cubed
• 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp garam masala
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp paprika
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• salt to taste

Method

1. 1

   Mix coconut yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, turmeric, paprika, garlic, ginger, and salt together.

2. 2

   Toss the chicken cubes in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate overnight — the acid in the yogurt and lemon juice gently tenderizes the meat over that time, breaking down muscle fibers much the way a longer cook time would.

3. 3

   Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.

4. 4

   Grill or broil 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
