Chicken tikka is a popular Indian dish made with marinated chicken pieces cooked in a tandoor or oven.

Ingredients

Lemon wedges (for serving)
Fresh coriander (for garnish)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Salt (to taste)
Garam masala (1 teaspoon)
Paprika (1 teaspoon)
Coriander powder (1 teaspoon)
Cumin powder (1 teaspoon)
Turmeric powder (1 teaspoon)
Ginger (garlic paste - 2 tablespoons)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Yogurt (1/2 cup)
Chicken breast (500 grams, boneless and skinless)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, garam masala, and salt to make the marinade.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers and place them on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.
Brush the chicken with vegetable oil to prevent drying.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with lemon wedges.
Enjoy the delicious Indian chicken tikka!
