Time 8h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • 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 chicken was cooked perfectly, but the yogurt marinade was a bit too tangy for my taste.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend adding more spices to the marinade.
