Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and mix well. Add chicken and coat on each side with the marinade. Let it rest for anywhere between 30 minutes to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil. Place a rack over top.
  • When ready to cook, add the oil, onions, green and red bell pepper to the marinade with the chicken. Mix well.
  • Thread the marinated chicken, peppers and onions in the skewers alternating between each. (1 skewer per person)
  • Place the skewers on the rack, then bake for 15 minutes.
  • Turn on your oven's broiler and broil the Tikka Kebabs for about 5 minutes to get the char marks.
  • Serve warm with lime wedges and onion rounds, along with mint cilantro chutney to dip.

Notes

Marinate: Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but longer is ideal for more tender Chicken Tikka.
Cook: For best results cook the meat only until done. This will result in soft, juicy & tender chicken kebabs. Over cooked meat can result in chewy kebabs.
Meal Prep: Make a batch of this marinated chicken and freeze for later use or meal prep for the week.
Skewers: I used wooden skewers which I soaked in water for 30 minutes
