Chicken Kebab with Yogurt Sauce

For quite some time I have been trying to find a non-boring chicken recipe. Chicken usually come out bland but this recipe is really delicious, the sweet-minty yogurt sauce adds an excellent taste to the mildly spicy kebabs.

Here's what you'll need:

Kebab:
1 lb chicken breast cubed
1 tbsp red curry paste
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil

Yogurt sauce:

1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt
2 tbsp cup light mayonnaise
1 tsp honey
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp finely chopped mint 

In a large bowl mix the red curry paste with salt and olive oil and marinate the chicken cubes for 2 hours. Then on grill at medium-high heat cook the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning as each side gets a little charred.
In the meantime, in a small bowl whisk together the yogurt and mayonaise until well blended. Add the honey and lime juice and mint and mix together a little more.


Makes 4 kebabs, about 200 Calories per kebab.
