Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 pounds boned and skinned chicken breasts
2/3 cup plain lowfat yogurt
fresh ginger root -- grated; to taste
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
salt -- to taste
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons oil
lime slices -- for garnish

Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels and cut into 3/4" cubes. Thread
onto short skewers. Put skewered chicken into a shallow non-metal dish. In
a small bowl, mix together yogurt, gingerroot, garlic, chile powder,
coriander, salt, lime juice and oil. Pour over skewered chicken and turn to
coat completely in marinade. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight to
allow chicken to absorb flavors.

Heat grill. Place skewered chicken on grill rack and cook 5 to 7 minutes,
turning skewers and basting occasionally with any remaining marinade. Serve
hot, garnished with lime slices.
