Tandoori Chicken Bites

Indian flavors, weeknight effort. Chicken breast meets yogurt in a 35-minute snack worth keeping in rotation. The macros do the talking: 30g protein, 4g carbs, and 9g fat in every 220-calorie serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 12 oz Chicken breast
• 1/3 cup Yogurt
• 2 tbsp Tandoori spice
• 1/2 Lemon

Steps

1. Cut the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch chunks so every piece cooks at the same rate.
2. Whisk the yogurt, tandoori spice, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of salt into a marinade in a large bowl.
3. Add the chicken and turn to coat completely. Marinate at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
4. Thread the chunks onto skewers, or arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet with space between pieces.
5. Broil about 6 inches from the heat for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until the edges are charred and the centers reach 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
6. Rest 5 minutes before serving. The juices redistribute instead of running out onto the plate.
7. Serve with extra lemon wedges and a small bowl of plain yogurt for cooling contrast.
