Marinating the chicken in yogurt prevents it from drying out while it cooks, so it’s a great technique for keeping barbecued chicken tender. You will need 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Ingredients

0% fat natural Greek yogurt

150 g

Root Ginger

1 tablespoon(s), grated

Garlic

2 clove(s), crushed

Garam Masala

1 teaspoon(s), level

Ground Cumin

1 teaspoon(s), level

Turmeric

1 teaspoon(s)

Chilli Powder

½ teaspoon(s), level

Chicken breast, skinless, raw

4 medium, cut into 3cm pieces

Red onion

1 small, cut into thin wedges

Peppers, all types

2 medium, green and red, deseeded and cut into 3cm pieces

Instructions

  1. Mix the yogurt with the ginger, garlic, and spices in a bowl. Add the chicken, then cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
  2. Thread the chicken, onion and peppers onto the prepared skewers. Cook the kebabs on a preheated barbecue for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

Barbecue a lot? Get yourself some wooden-handled stainless steel barbecue skewers that you can reuse
