Step 1
Thread chicken and peppers alternately onto two metal or soaked wooden skewers, packing tightly.
Step 2
Whisk yogurt with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over the skewers until fully coated.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high until smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Lay skewers in the pan without moving for 3 minutes. Flip and cook 2–3 minutes more until charred edges appear.
Step 5
In the remaining space, sear tomato halves cut-side down for 2 minutes, then flip. Transfer all to a plate.
Step 6
Plate warm saffron rice, arrange skewers and grilled tomatoes on top, scatter raw carrot rounds around, and serve with lime wedges and pickles.
