Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, mix the chicken with 1/4 cup yogurt and 2 tbsp tandoori spice mix until well coated.

  2. Step 2

    Thread the chicken onto skewers. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Step 3

    Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, turning once, until charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, shred the 2 cups cabbage and grate the 1 medium carrot. Toss with the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt and the juice of 1 lime.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the hot skewers over the slaw with extra lime wedges on the side.
