Chicken Curry Kebabs

It is BBQ season again. And these curry chicken kebabs are good fit for one of these.

Chicken meat turns out very tender and juicy, especially if you use boneless chicken thighs (but breasts will do too).

If you don’t want to bother with grill (even though it is pretty fun), you can roast skewers in the oven over the baking pan.

Ingredients:

  • 2.5lb of boneless skinless chicken meat
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1.5 cups of kefir
  • Curry to taste, 1-2 teaspoons
  • 4-5 bay leaves
  • 10-15 black peppercorns
  • Salt to taste

How to prepare, step-by-step:

  1. Prepare ingredients: I use chicken boneless skinless thighs for kebabs usually, they are less dry than breasts, but are a bit harder to put on skewer:
