Enjoy the rich, aromatic flavors of Hariyali Tikka, a classic Indian chicken preparation bursting with traditional spices. This high protein chicken dish fits well into a 1500 calorie meal plan and makes an excellent family dinner.
In a blender, combine cilantro, mint, onion, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger. Blend until a smooth green paste forms.
In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with all the seasoning ingredients: cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, black pepper, and oil.
Add the green herb paste to the yogurt mixture and mix thoroughly to create the marinade.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for maximum flavor).
Preheat grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat (400°F). Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each chunk.
Grill or broil the chicken for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the edges char slightly and the inside is fully cooked (juices run clear). Do not overcook to prevent dry texture.
Remove from heat, rest for 3 minutes, then serve hot with lemon wedges and optional onion rings.
