Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1 1/2 inch (4 cm) cubes (about 16 pieces), 500 g
  • 1 pieces red bell pepper seeded, cut into 1-inch (2 1/2 cm)(about 16 pieces)
  • 1/2 red onion cut into 1/2 inch pieces (about 16 pieces)
  • olive oil for oiling grill
  • 1/4 cup Patak's butter chicken curry paste 50 mL
  • 2 400 g packages Patak's naan bread plain or garam masala flavour
  • 1/4 cup Patak's Indian style lime pickle 50 mL
  • 12 sprigs fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Alternate threading chicken, red pepper and red onions onto four 10- to 12-inch (25 to 30 cm) metal or presoaked wooden skewers and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken skewers on lightly oiled grill and cook for 2 minutes. Turn a quarter turn and baste cooked side with butter chicken curry paste. Continue to cook, turning and basting as necessary until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Just before serving, heat naan bread on grill, flipping once, until warmed through, about 1 minute per side.
  • To serve, place 1 chicken skewer in the centre of each naan bread. Garnish with Indian style lime pickle and cilantro sprigs. Fold naan over chicken and vegetable fillings and carefully remove skewer.
