Grilled Chicken Skewers with Creamy Herb Sauce Recipe

A delectable spice marinade will infuse your chicken with flavour from the start (while also lowering possibly carcinogenic heterocyclic amines or HCAs)! Pair these skewers with corn or a simple salad and a creamy and healthful herb sauce.

Ingredients

To make the herb sauce:

1 seeded jalapeno

two scallions (white and light green parts)

1 cup fresh cilantro, plus additional leaves for garnish

12 basil leaves, fresh

1 tbsp. fresh lime juice

3/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt

To prepare the chicken:

12 oz. boneless and skinless chicken breast

1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

paprika, 1/2 teaspoon

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

a quarter teaspoon of kosher salt

a dozen radishes

1 lime, peeled and sliced into wedges

Directions

  1. Cut the jalapeno and scallions into 1/2-inch pieces and place them in a food processor to make the herb sauce. Combine the cilantro, basil, lime juice, and yoghurt in a mixing bowl. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  2. For the chicken, cut the chicken into 1/4-inch thick strips lengthwise. Each strip should be threaded onto a skewer. In a baking dish, arrange the skewers.
  3. Combine the oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, and salt in a small bowl. Toss the chicken in the sauce to coat. Allow marinating for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until done.
  5. Serve the herb sauce and chicken skewers on separate dishes. Serve with sliced radishes and lime wedges and more cilantro on top.
