INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Plain Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Paprika
1/4 cup Cooked Basmati Rice
1/4 cup Cooked Green Lentils
1 cup Sliced Cucumber
2 tbsp Thinly Sliced Red Onion
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Cilantro
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, garam masala, cumin, and paprika to form the marinade.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss in the marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on the edges.
While the chicken is grilling, mix the cooked basmati rice and green lentils in a small bowl. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
For the cucumber salad, toss the sliced cucumber with red onion and chopped cilantro. Add a dash of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the grilled chicken skewers alongside the lentil rice mixture and cucumber salad. Serve warm and enjoy!
