Chicken Kebabs Marinated In Yogurt And Spices

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons	30ml	Fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup	118ml	Plain whole-milk yogurt
3 tablespoons	45ml	Chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon	15ml	Grated fresh ginger
2		Garlic cloves - minced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Ground cumin
1 teaspoon	5ml	Ground coriander
2 tablespoons	30ml	Canola oil - divided
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Boneless skinless chicken breasts - cut 2" cubes

Recipe Instructions

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the lemon juice, yogurt, cilantro, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon of the canola oil and the salt. Stir in the chicken cubes, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Prepare a fire in a grill or preheat the broiler. Remove the chicken cubes from the marinade and thread onto metal skewers. (If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water first.) Brush the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil.

Place the skewers on the grill rack or on a broiler pan and grill or broil, turning occasionally, until the chicken is opaque throughout, 12 to 18 minutes.

If using a grill, close the top for the last 5 minutes to ensure thorough cooking. Serve immediately.
