Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, lemon juice, grated ginger, grated garlic, and all the spices. Whisk until smooth. Cut boneless chicken breasts into equal pieces, add to the marinade, and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. After marination, thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell peppers. Arrange skewers on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet.
  3. Preheat your broiler to 500°F. Place skewers under the broiler and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through until slightly charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Let skewers rest for a few minutes. Slide the chicken off using a fork. Serve alongside basmati rice or warm naan.

Notes

Marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking. Soak skewers to prevent burning. Aim for a charred exterior while cooking.
