Equipment

Wooden or metal skewers
Raised-edge baking tray
Baking paper

Ingredients

400 g Mini chicken breast fillets
125 g Plain yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon juice
3 cloves Garlic Minced
1 tsp Ginger Minced
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Ground cumin
1 tsp Garam masala
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Tumeric
1/2 tsp Ground coriander
1/2 tsp Pepper

Instructions

Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Combine the cubed chicken with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, cumin, garam masala, paprika, turmeric and pepper and stir until well-coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 260°C. Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.
Skewer the marinated chicken pieces, then set them over the prepared baking pan, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.
Serve with a coriander-loaded salad with olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and salt and enjoy!
