CHICKEN TIKKA KEBABS | SLIMMING & WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients together & place in a glass jar. Preferably one with a tight lid
• Cut the chicken breasts into chunks about the size and thickness of a chicken nugget. Place into a non-reactive bowl
• Add the lemon juice and mix well so all of the pieces are coated
• Add 2 tbsp of the Tikka Seasoning Mix and mix well. Then add the yoghurt (and food colouring if you're using it) and mix well. Cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour
• Pre-heat an oven to 200°C
• Thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers. Spray the chicken skewers with low calorie cooking spray
• Heat a cast iron griddle pan (or mist a frying pan with Frylight & heat, if you don't have one). When the pan is very hot, add the chicken, and cook on each side until the chicken colours
• Once coloured on all sides, place the chicken in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through

CHICKEN TIKKA KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine yogurt, garlic, cumin, turmeric, ginger, pepper, chile flakes, and cinnamon in a glass or ceramic bowl; mix well.
• Chop chicken into small chunks and add to the yogurt mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the refrigerator and thread onto skewers. Place on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN TIKKA KEBABS WITH INDIAN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt with the curry paste in a large bowl. Add the chicken, season, then stir really well. Cover and leave for 30 minutes at room temperature to give the spices time to flavour the chicken (or make ahead and chill for several hours or overnight).
• Make the salad before you start to cook the kebabs. Simply mix together the cucumber, tomatoes, chilli, onion and coriander. Season lightly, then cover until you're ready to serve with the meal.
• Preheat the grill or barbecue. Push the chicken onto 8 metal or wooden skewers. Grill or barbecue the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning them frequently. At the same time, warm the tortillas or chapatis on one side of the barbecue, wrapping them in foil. Serve two kebabs per person, with two tortillas or chapatis and plenty of salad.
