| These well-seasoned chicken skewers certainly beat plain grilled chicken. Bottled tandoori spice mix makes prep work a snap (just ease up on the amount if you can't stand too much heat). |
Ingredients
|
|
1 1/4 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken thigh(s), cut into 32 chunks (about 4 pieces per thigh)
|
|
1 1/4 cup(s) plain fat-free yogurt, divided
|
|
|
2 Tbsp tandoori spice mix
|
|
1/2 cup(s) cucumber(s), English variety, diced
|
|
|
3 Tbsp mint leaves, fresh, chopped
|
|
|
1/4 tsp table salt
|
|
1 medium red onion(s), cut into 16 wedges
|
|
|
2 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray
|
|
2 cup(s) cooked whole wheat couscous, kept warm
|
Instructions
- Put chicken, 1/2 cup of yogurt and spice mix in a resealable plastic food storage bag. Seal bag and turn to mix and coat. Place bag on a plate and refrigerate on lowest shelf for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
- To make sauce, in a small bowl, stir together remaining 3/4 cup of yogurt, cucumber, mint and salt until blended; refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken and onion wedges onto 8 metal skewers, using 4 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of onion per skewer. (If using wooden skewers soak them in water 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.) Coat chicken and onions with cooking spray.
- Grill skewers, turning often, until chicken is no longer pink in center, about 7 to 9 minutes. Serve skewers over couscous with sauce on the side. Yields 2 skewers, 1/2 cup of couscous and about 1/4 cup of sauce per serving.
