Ingredients | Yakitori Chicken Skewer

1 cup plain yogurt

1 red onion, finely chopped

1 lemon, juiced

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

3 cloves garlic, crushed

¾ teaspoon garam masala

¾ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

cooking spray

Directions

Combine yogurt, red onion, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, cayenne, and turmeric in a bowl. Place chicken breasts into yogurt mixture and flip to coat; cover bowl with plastic and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with cooking spray.

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and thread onto skewers. Discard used marinade. Lay skewered chicken into baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is browned with a few blackened spots and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). See Note for grilling instructions.

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the marinade ingredients. The actual amount of the marinade consumed will vary.

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Place skewers on the grill and cook, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until nicely browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
