Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the cubed chicken breasts in a glass bowl or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize.
-
Assemble the Skewers:
- Preheat your grill or broiler to medium heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes, onion chunks, sliced Japanese eggplant, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Season the skewers with pepper to taste.
-
Grill or Broil:
- Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill or under the broiler.
- Grill or broil for about 7 to 10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, with a slight char on the edges.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, carefully remove the skewers from the grill or broiler.
- Serve the Grilled Bombay Skewers hot over a bed of fluffy rice.
- Pair with refreshing cucumber mint raita or tangy chutney raita for a burst of flavor.

Tips for Success:
- Marinate Overnight: For the most flavorful and tender chicken, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
- Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the ingredients to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Uniform Size: Cut the chicken and vegetables into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the skewers while grilling or broiling to prevent overcooking, as chicken tends to dry out quickly if left on high heat for too long.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the vegetables with your favorites or whatever you have on hand. Bell peppers, mushrooms, and even pineapple make delicious additions to these skewers.
With its vibrant colors, bold flavors, and easy preparation, these Grilled Bombay Skewers are sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy the taste of India right in your own backyard! 🇮🇳🍢
