Chicken & Vegetable Skewers with Tandoori Marinade
Bring vibrant, Indian-inspired flavor to your dinner table with these easy tandoori chicken skewers. Juicy chicken, bell peppers, red onions, and mushrooms are marinated in a zesty mix of Tandoori Seasoning, Avocado Oil, and coconut cream. Baked or grilled, these skewers are perfect for busy weeknights or weekend get-togethers.
Ingredients:
For the Skewers:
- 1 lb chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped into large chunks
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped into large chunks
- 1 red onion, chopped into large chunks
- 1 container whole mini portabella mushrooms
For the Tandoori Marinade:
- ½ cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Tandoori Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
Instructions:
1. Prep the Skewers
Soak wooden or bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
2. Make the Marinade
In a medium bowl, mix coconut cream, Tandoori Seasoning, lemon juice, and Avocado Oil until smooth.
3. Marinate the Ingredients
Chop chicken, bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms into similar-sized pieces for even cooking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the marinade with the chicken and vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to allow flavors to infuse.
4. Assemble the Skewers
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place a grilling rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Bake or Grill
Place skewers on the rack and bake for 10–15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Cooking times may vary based on the size of the pieces. For a grilled version, cook on a preheated grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until done.
6. Serve
Serve hot with warm pita bread, rice, or tortillas. Garnish with fresh herbs or a side of yogurt s
