Ingredients
- 12 oz Chicken breast
- 1/3 cup Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Tandoori spice
- 1/2 Lemon
Steps
- Cut the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch chunks so every piece cooks at the same rate.
- Whisk the yogurt, tandoori spice, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of salt into a marinade in a large bowl.
- 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.
- Thread the chunks onto skewers, or arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet with space between pieces.
- 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.
- Rest 5 minutes before serving. The juices redistribute instead of running out onto the plate.
- Serve with extra lemon wedges and a small bowl of plain yogurt for cooling contrast.
