Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 to 5 large chicken breasts or approximately 1.2 kg, skinless
  • 1 large brown onion (finely sliced)
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 5 tbsp yogurt Greek style
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp saffron bloomed in 50ml water, ground
  • lemon juice from whole large lemon
  • salt to season
  • black pepper to season
  • 1 large garlic crushed or minced, clove
  • 1 to 2 tbsp butter (Melted - to baste the chicken while cooking)

Instructions

  1. Chop your chicken into chunks (fairly large as they will shrink when cooking).
  2. Put the chicken pieces into a bowl and then add all the ingredients except the butter and massage into the chicken until all the marinade is mixed in and evenly distributed amongst the chicken pieces. It will be a yellow/orange colour. Cover and leave in the fridge for the flavours to develop for a minimum of 12 hrs. Take the chicken out of the fridge about 30 mins before you want to cook to bring up to room temperature.
  3. When you are ready to cook the chicken (either on your bbq or under the grill on the highest setting), divide the chicken on to about 4 skewers and cook, basting with the butter and turning the skewers until the chicken is a little charred. It takes roughly 15 to 25 minutes on a bbq (depending on how hot your bbq is).
  4. Serve alongside Chelo or lavash bread, Salad Shirazi (or any other salad you fancy), fresh herbs (Persian-style), Maast o Moosir, grilled tomatoes and / or  Torshi.
