- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch cubes.
- In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the lemon juice, yogurt, cilantro, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon of the canola oil, and the salt. Stir in the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
- Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill. Remove chicken from the marinade (discarding marinade) and thread it onto skewers. Brush chicken with remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Place the skewers in a broiler pan or on the grill rack. Broil or grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is opaque throughout, about 12 to 18 minutes. (If using a grill, close the top for the last 5 minutes to ensure thorough cooking.)
