Chicken tikka is one of my absolute favourite chicken dishes to make. Usually, I serve it alongside naan bread and some homemade yoghurt chutney.

However, this chicken tikka kebab would also be delicious with some plain simple basmati rice.

These chicken skewers are a great option when you know you are going to be in a rush at dinner time. You can marinate the chicken a day beforehand and then put them in the oven just before you are ready to eat.
