Chicken Tikka

Chicken tikka is a Pakistani chicken kabob.  Made with a yogurt basted marinade and typical middle eastern spices.  This blend of spices makes a very nice complement to the chicken flavor without being overpowering.

Ingredients:

• Boneless chicken breast, cubed.
• 1 tbsp ginger, fresh chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, fresh minced
• 2/3 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp red chili powder
• 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/4 tsp curry powder
• 1/4 tsp ground pepper
• 1/4 tsp coriander seeds
• juice 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. Take your chicken breast and dice it into about 1" or a little bigger cubes.
2. Mix all the ingredients except the chicken in a bowl to make your marinade.   Once mixed add your chicken and cover all the meat good.  Place cover over bowl and put it in the fridge for 1-4 hours.
3. Start your charcoal and set up the grill for direct heat.  Allow the grate to heat up.
4. Take your chicken and place on skewers close together.  Do not compact the squares just don't leave space between them.
5. Place your skewers on the grill and watch them carefully.  They will cook fast.  Turn them every minute or two.  They are done when fork tender.
6. Plate it with your choice of side dish.  I used some leftover cabbage to make a cabbage salad.  Just cabbage, juice of one lime, olive oil and pepper.  It marinaded at the same time as the chicken.

This real tasty and easy meal to grill.
