Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 150 grams Yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes.

Step 2

Chop the green, red, and yellow bell peppers into squares similar in size to the chicken pieces.

Step 3

Cut the onion into squares about the same size as the bell peppers.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, lemon juice, and cooking oil to make a marinade.

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 6

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 7

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onions onto the skewers, alternating between each item.

Step 9

Place the skewers onto the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 11

Serve the chicken shashlik immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
