EASY CHUTNEY CHICKEN KEBABS

I have not tried this, but it was in today's newspaper and I wanted to share. With bbq season practically here, I thought this was a great recipe to have on hand. Prep time includes overnight marinating, which is not necessary. Kebabs can be served as a main course, an appetizer, or just a snack!

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
6 bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup mango chutney (or your favourite chutney)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Place chicken chunks in a mixing bowl and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, place chutney, soy sauce, sugar and oil; process or blend until mixture is smooth.
Pour chutney mixture over chicken and stir to coat well.
Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour; maximum 24 hours.
Before dinner, find skewers; if metal, fine, but if using wooden ones they must be soaked in water for 30 minutes so they won't burn.
Preheat bbq and grease grill, or preheat broiler.
Prepare kebabs: Put 3 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces of pepper, alternating, on each skewer.
Chicken will cook faster on bbq: cook kebabs about 8 minutes, turning often.
Or broil on wire rack on shallow baking sheet set on rack in centre of oven, about 8 inches from broiler; broil, turning partway through, until chicken feels springy, about 15 minutes.

This is modified from Madhur Jaffrey's Quick & Easy Indian Cooking. I love her recipes, but find that they call for far more fat than my diet can sustain, so I've left all the flavor but cut the butter and oil. These are wonderful as either an appetizer to share with a crowd, or a main dish for 4. Just a note- turmeric stains, so please be careful not to get the marinade on your counter, or your clothes.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chickpea flour (I just use AP flour)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you like it spicy)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
4 teaspoons melted butter (for basting)

Steps:

Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes. Put in a mixing bowl and rub with the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt and flour, whisking to combine well. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the ginger, garlic, cayenne, turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. Mix well, then pour the yougurt mixture over the chicken. Mix to coat all of the chicken pieces, then set aside for at least 15 minutes. (You could leave in the refrigerator overnight at this point, if you wish.).
Preheat your broiler or grill to high heat.
Thread the chicken onto skewers (remember to soak the skewers first if you are using wooden ones, so they don't burn). Place on a broiling pan (if using the oven) or directly onto the grill grate. Baste with half of the melted butter.
Cook for five minutes, then flip and baste with the remaining butter. Cook for 2 - 3 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve immediately.

Tips:

Use high-quality chicken for the best results.
If you don't have skewers, you can use metal or wooden skewers.
Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in marinade before grilling.
Grill the chicken over medium heat to prevent it from drying out.
Turn the chicken frequently to ensure even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken before removing it from the grill.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
