Chicken Tikka Recipe

Step 1

Place the chicken breast pieces into a bowl or freezer bag with the yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, coriander, turmeric, cumin, paprika, chilli powder, cinnamon, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Mix together so that everything is combined, then cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 2-3 hours.

Step 3

If you’re using wooden skewers, place them in water to soak while the chicken is marinating. This will help to prevent them burning during grilling.

Step 4

Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and thread onto skewers.

Step 5

Brush the chicken with the oil, then place on a griddle plate and cook, turning a couple of times, for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Alternatively, you can grill (broil) under a grill, or you can barbecue for the same amount of time.

Step 6

Make sure the chicken is cooked by slicing into a larger piece and ensuring it's no longer pink in the middle.

Step 7

Serve with a sprinkling of freshly chopped coriander.
