Before you proceed on the gist behind this recipe, let me quickly wow your taste-bud with this short clip of chicken tikkas!!!
Honestly, I always like simple and tasty meals and these chicken tikkas are the kind of chops I enjoy especially on sunny summer weather.
I found it really interesting, throwing in all the ingredients (onions, sweet pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, yellow bell pepper, ginger, chicken paprika, jerk seasoning, piripiri seasoning, black pepper, Knorr cube, salt, lemon juice, butter and honey) into the blender and then giving them all some really nice blitz.
Just a gentle reminder - Don't be scared or put off by some of the seasonings I have used in this recipe. Feel free to use whatever seasoning you have at hand!!!
I can confidently tell you that I was quite impressed with how the marinade turned out. Yes, a really tasty and flavourful marinade was all I needed to compliment those chicken breasts cubes. After combining the marinade with the chicken breasts, I covered the container with a nylon cling wrap and then placed them in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
I always prefer placing the marinated chicken breasts in the fridge for at least a couple of hours so that the ingredients can penetrate really well into the chicken. This method is also recommended for any type of meat you want to grill or roast.
After bringing out the marinated chicken breasts from the fridge, I assembled them in skewers and then put them in the oven for a nice grill.
The final product came out so flavourful and aromatic that two of my neighbours popped in to say "Hi" the moment they perceived the aroma gushing out from my kitchen 🤣 🤣 😀 😁
Once the chicken tikkas were properly grilled and done, I brought them out from the oven and garnished them off with some fresh spring onions. 😋 😋 😋
This is what this recipe is all about - grilled chicken breasts garnished off with spring onions, one of my favourite vegetables. It might also interest you to know that these chicken tikkas make amazing leftovers too. Although I had no leftovers this time around as many mouths were ready to devour the tikkas even before they were ready 😁
Do not say that you were not told! This is definitely a recipe you MUST try on your own. I bet you won't regret you did! Personally, I will make these chicken tikkas a couple of times during this summer and I hope you too.
