Indian-Spiced Chicken Kebabs with Coriander-Mint Chutney

These vibrant Indian-spiced chicken kebabs are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a fresh, protein-rich meal that does not compromise on flavour. By marinating lean chicken breast in a blend of aromatic tikka paste, ginger and cooling yogurt, the meat remains incredibly tender and succulent during cooking. The star of the dish is the homemade coriander-mint chutney, which provides a zesty, herbaceous lift that perfectly balances the subtle heat of the spices.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and fresh vegetables rather than heavy sauces or refined carbohydrates. Serving the skewers over a crisp bed of butter lettuce and cucumber makes for a light, refreshing dinner that is as nutritious as it is colourful. It is an ideal option for healthy midweek entertaining or a simple family supper that feels like a special treat.
