Ingredients

• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
• cooking spray
• ¾ teaspoon garam masala

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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.]
