Chicken Shashlik

Ingredients:

• 500g boneless chicken breast or thighs (cut into cubes)
• 1 onion (sliced)
• 1 bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 tomato (sliced)
• 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp yogurt
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp oil (for grilling)
• Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions:

1. Prepare the marinade:

   • In a large bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, lemon juice, yogurt, soy sauce, chili powder, paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

2. Marinate the chicken:

   • Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a stronger flavor.

3. Prepare the vegetables:

   • Slice the onion, bell pepper, and tomato into thick chunks. These will be threaded onto the skewers along with the chicken.

4. Assemble the skewers:

   • Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with pieces of onion, bell pepper, and tomato.

5. Grill the shashlik:

   • Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with a little oil to prevent sticking.
   • Grill the chicken shashlik for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

6. Serve:

   • Serve the Chicken Shashlik with naan, rice, or a side salad, and drizzle with a squeeze of lemon juice.
