SPICY CHICKEN SKEWERS

Spicy Chicken Skewers image

This is a great recipe! I've used it as a main dish and as an appetizer at parties. I use cornflakes for the coating and crushed red pepper flakes instead of ground red pepper--you can make it as spicy or as mild as you like. The cilantro dip cools and complements the chicken.The original recipe came from Better homes and Gardens.

Amazing chicken skewers my mom used to make when I was younger. These are great fresh of the grill and even better reheated. I love to meal prep this and take with me to work.

SPICED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Spiced Chicken Skewers image

From Cooking Light. When I make them I use chicken breasts, and skewer chicken seperately from veggies. Also I use all Greek yogurt in place of the yogurt/sour cream mixture in the raita.
