"this is a nice appetizer served on short skewers, with chutney as the dipping condiment. prep time doesn't reflect marinating time"

Very good. A nice, unique tasting marinade that gave the chicken a nice flavor. The ease of prep was great - tossing eveything into a plastic bag and popping it into the fridge in the morning, and quickly popping it under the broiler for supper. I would check this early, though, as my chicken was fully cooked by the halfway point(at 6 minutes). The chutney is a must as a dipping sauce - I used homemade.

This was pretty good - I didn't realize it had to marinate until I was already preparing dinner, so it only marinated for a half hour. I did chop the chicken into cubes to assist in marinating. I will make this again.

I doubled this and served it at a party. I put it on skewers with red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and red onions. Grilled it on my indoor grill. Then served it with a greek yogurt dip. YUMMY! Thank you chia! This really hit the spot for all my low-carbing guests.

i don't eat chicken, but going on accounts of how this was received by DH, am rating it 5*. i marinated it overnight and threaded the skewers with some red bell pepper and red onion as well. i also added a teaspoon of garam masala since he likes stuff spicy. a fine recipe, thanks for posting.
