Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into 1
• inch cubes
• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 3 tbsp ghee or olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with coconut cream, ghee or olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the spice mixture.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for optimal flavor infusion.
3. Preheat your oven's broiler or prepare a grill for high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto metal or wooden skewers, leaving some space between each piece.
4. Broil the skewers on an oven rack 4 inches below the broiler for 6 8 minutes per side, turning once, until cooked through and golden brown. Alternatively, grill the skewers for 10 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
5. Remove the chicken tikka skewers from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
