Turmeric Chicken Skewers with Lime Yoghurt

Golden and lightly charred, these turmeric chicken skewers are perfect for the BBQ or a quick griddle dinner. Just Fresh Turmeric Juice, warming spices and a little honey give the chicken plenty of flavour, while a creamy lime yoghurt makes a refreshing dip.

Ingredients

  • 600g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks

  • 3 tbsp Just Fresh Turmeric Juice

  • 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt

  • 1 tbsp Just Fresh Lime Juice

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp ground coriander

  • 1 tsp honey

  • ½ tsp salt

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh coriander and lime wedges, to serve

For the lime yoghurt

  • 150g Greek yoghurt

  • 1 tbsp Just Fresh Lime Juice

  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated

  • A pinch of salt

Method

  1. Combine the turmeric juice, 2 tbsp yoghurt, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, honey, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

  2. Add the chicken and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
