These healthy chicken tikka skewers are a vibrant addition to any barbecue or midweek dinner. By marinating skinless chicken thighs in a spiced Greek yogurt mixture infused with ginger, garlic and aromatic garam masala, you achieve a tender result with a deep, savoury flavour profile. The use of lime juice adds a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the yogurt without the need for heavy oils or added sugars.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and authentic spices rather than shop-bought sauces. Serve these succulent skewers with a fresh coriander and mint chutney and a crisp salad for a light, nutritious meal. They are remarkably quick to cook on a hot grill or frying pan, making them a reliable choice for those seeking a wholesome, homemade alternative to a traditional takeaway.

Ingredients for Chicken Tikkas
120ml thick plain whole-milk yoghurt such as Greek
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon finely grated (with a rasp) peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated (with a rasp) garlic
3/4 teaspoons garam masala (Indian spice mix)
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons cayenne
450g skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Accompaniment: coriander mint chutney
18 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes
How to make Chicken Tikkas
Stir together all ingredients except chicken in a medium bowl, then add chicken, stirring to coat. Marinate, covered and chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderately high heat for gas).
While grill is heating, thread 3 or 4 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, leaving a little space between pieces, and transfer to a tray lined with plastic wrap.
Oil grill rack, then grill chicken, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until browned and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes total.
