Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1.5 inches each. Set aside in a large bowl.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, mint, garlic, green chilies, Greek yogurt, lime juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, salt, and vegetable oil. Blend until a smooth green marinade forms.
Step 3
Pour the green marinade over the chicken pieces. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 6
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Cook the chicken skewers on the grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Serve hot with rice, naan, or a fresh green salad, and enjoy your flavorful Spiced Green Chicken Skewers!
