Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 500 grams
• Plain yogurt - 150 grams
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 3 cloves
• Ginger, minced - 1 tablespoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - for garnish

Steps

1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to create a marinade.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
5. Once the grill is hot, skewer the marinated chicken pieces or place them directly on the grill.
6. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
8. Serve the Halal Chicken Tikka garnished with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges on the side.
