Tandoori Chicken Skewers

Sevres 6.  Prep time 20 minutes, then marinade for 2 hours.  Cook time 10 minutes.

Ingredients

6 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves, cut into ½ inch strips or cubes

¼ cup low fat plain yogurt

1 T olive oil

½ t ground coriander

¾ t peeled chopped fresh ginger

¼ t salt

½ t cumin

¼ t turmeric

¼ t black pepper

Directions

Place all the marinade ingredients in a food processor, process until smooth, scraping sides of processor bowl once.  Combine yogurt mixture and chicken in covered glass dish and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning chicken in marinade occasionally.  I prefer this to a zip lock plastic bag because it is more environmentally friendly.

Remove chicken strips onto 24 6-inch skewers.  Place skewers on broiler pan coated with cooking spray or oil.  Broil 6 minute on each side or until chicken is done.  Arrange skewers on a serving platter with rice and dipping sauce. 

Traditional Indian Dipping Sauce

½ cup plain yogurt

½ cup chopped, peeled and seeded cucumber

2.5 T chopped fresh cilantro

3 t fresh chopped green onions

¼ t ground coriander

¼ t ground cumin

Combine all ingredients and season to taste with salt.  Chill until ready to serve.
