INGREDIENTS:
  • 500g skin-off chicken thighs, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 100g natural Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 4 small cucumbers, each cut into 5 rounds (or 2 Lebanese cucumbers)
  • Handful of fresh mint, parsley or coriander leaves
METHOD:
  • Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the yoghurt, spices, ginger and salt until well combined, then stir in the chicken pieces to coat.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the chicken out in a single layer, separating all the pieces so they aren’t touching.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to cool to slightly before refrigerating until completely cold.
  • Thread a round of cucumber, a mint/parsley/coriander leaf and a piece of chicken onto a wooden skewer, then repeat.
  • Repeat with the remaining skewers.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve up.
RECIPE NOTES:

To increase your veggie intake, serve with a side salad or cut veggie sticks such as carrot and capsicum.
