Delicious Chicken Tikka Skewers created by teresas

So simple, so tasty, this is a no fail recipe! Excellent for barbecues served with salad or with my recipe #289258.We love them stuffed into pita bread or in wraps with salad for lunch. Also great cold for picnics! Timing does not include marinating time.

Nothing special. The marinade was kind of weak.

I omitted the part with the salt and lemon juice on the chicken (I used boneless skinless chicken thighs). In the marinade, I omitted the coriander. Since I wanted it low-fat, I didn't brush with melted butter. The taste was very yummy. And the chicken very tender. Thanks Noo :) Made for PRMR tag game

A perfect blend of spices. I made just a half recipe. Since I was doing them while we were out in the motorhome, and 'fridge space is at a premium, I put the cubed chicken in a Ziploc bag with the marinade overnight, and "skewered" them just before cooking on the portable grill. Served with rice. Will be making these again, for sure!
