Chicken Malai Boti
Tender chicken kabobs marinated in a spiced herb yogurt marinade, served with fresh green chutney
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs I used breasts, cut into cubes
- 3-4 green chilies I used jalapenos
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup light or heavy cream
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 inch piece ginger peeled
- 3 garlic cloves peeled
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 tbsp oil
For the chutney:
- 1/2 cup fresh mint
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1 jalapeno
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp yogurt
Instructions
For the chicken:
- For the marinade, combine all ingredients in a small blender jar and blend until smooth. Mix in a ziploc with the chicken and place in fridge overnight. You can grill these kabobs or you can use your broiler/oven to cook them. We grilled them.
- Place the chicken cubes on your skewers. Heat your grill to medium high and add the skewers. Cook until they are nicely browned. Reduce heat to medium and cook until at least 165 in the center. Rotate a few times while grilling them.
- To use the oven, place the skewers on a foil lined rack or baking sheet. Heat oven on the broil setting and broil until they have some nice browned areas like you'd get on the grill. Set oven to bake at 350 and bake them until they are at least 165 in center.
For the chutney:
- Combine all the ingredients in a small blender jar and blend until smooth. Taste and season with more salt or lemon as needed. Serve over the chicken.
