Ingredients

520g / 1lb 2½ oz. of boneless chicken breasts - around 4 breasts
2 medium red onions, peeled and quartered
8 green chillies, halved and de-seeded
Black pepper, to taste

For the Marinade:

275ml / 10fl oz. of low-fat, natural yoghurt
½ teaspoon of ground cumin
½ teaspoon of ground coriander
¼ teaspoon of turmeric
Small bunch of fresh coriander
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 tablespoon of fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
Black pepper, to taste

Method

Pour the low-fat yogurt into a large bowl and add the cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garlic, ginger and some fresh coriander sprigs. Mix everything together and season with pepper
Cut each chicken breast into 5 chunks and place in the spiced yogurt, mixing everything around so that the chicken is evenly coated
Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight
Prepare the barbecue - or alternatively pre-heat the grill to its highest setting
To assemble the kebabs thread an onion quarter, then a piece of chicken, half a chilli, and another piece of chicken. Repeat this again and finish off with a piece of chicken and another onion quarter. There should be 5 pieces of chicken on each kebab when you are finished
Press all the pieces tight together so they don’t separate in the cooking, then season well
Grill or barbeque on a high heat for at least 10 minutes on each side. Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked, by checking that that all juices run clear
