Chicken Skewers/Grilled Chicken Skewers/ Grilled chicken
This is my fourth week into low carb diet. Well, I thought I
would fail on the first week or just cheat my way. But I surprised myself. I didn’t
cheat and I am not craving for my ‘Bhat’ (Boiled rice in Bengali) which is
something to celebrate.
Although I love eating chicken a lot but chicken, fish and
high fat is what I am able to eat in this diet: I need something new and easy,
to avoid boredom. I am experimenting and
making something new almost all night. So far so good.
I often make Chicken Skewers -- we all love it and my
daughter N loves it too. I tweak the marinate each time. This time I added sour
cream and cheese to marinate the chicken to make it high fat. Hope this is
complaint for someone following similar diet but I am not expert. Hence do not
go by me. But hey, you are welcome to try the recipe anyway.
If you are looking for something easy and quick and can be
made with whatever you have in pantry then you might want to try this one.
Enjoy !
Ingredients:
500gms chicken thigh cut into small cubes
3 tablespoon sour cream or yoghurt
2 table spoon of shredded cheddar (do not need if you don’t want
to)
1 table to cut coriander leaf
1 tablespoon ginger paste
1 table spoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon of red chilli powder
½ teaspoon English mustard paste
1 teaspoon of chat masala
2 table spoon avocado oil (or any oil you like, adjust the amount
too)
Salt to taste
Green leaf salad to serve on side
Sliced red onion to serve on side
Skewers (I have iron ones, you can use bamboo too)
Method:
1.
Wash the chicken and drain water properly
2.
Mix all the ingredients together with the chicken ( except of salad
leaf and onion of course)
3.
Marinate for 20mins maybe. By the way I didn’t marinate
is at all. It still came very soft and nice
4.
Heat the grill or oven should do at 180c ( I have
a fan oven )
5.
Arrange the chicken cubes on the skewers ( like
the picture)
6.
Place the
chicken skewers on grill pan and grill them. You can also roast them in oven
7.
Grill both sides by turning half way through.
Mine is little over cooked as I forgot to take them out on time. But you can
take them out when both side is nicely brown or caramelised
8.
If you see the skewers the becoming dry or
getting burnt, baste them with spices from the left over marinate as often as
needed during the grilling process
9.
Serve with salad or pitta or as finger food in a
party.
