Instructions
- Mix together the yogurt, spices, chilli flakes, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the diced chicken and turn to coat thoroughly. Ideally marinate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours (covered in the fridge). But if you haven’t got time just carry on with the recipe.
- Prepare the barbecue or heat the grill (broiler).
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
- Cook the chicken for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through in the middle and charred in places on the outside. Turn the kebabs a few times on the BBQ or under the grill to get the kebabs evenly cooked.
- Serve with flatbreads, pittas, lettuce, tzatziki, onions and pomegranate seeds – or whatever you like!
Notes
- To make the meat go further, alternate meat with veggies such as onions, peppers and mushrooms on the skewers.
- Suitable for freezing.
