CURRIED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, process the yogurt, basil, and 1 wedge of onion until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl. Set the remaining onion wedges aside.
• Stir the curry powder and pepper into the yogurt mixture. Transfer 1/3 cup of the mixture to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate to serve as the dipping sauce.
• Add the chicken to the remaining yogurt mixture, stirring to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak seven 10-inch skewers for at least 10 minutes in cold water to keep them from charring or use metal skewers, lightly spraying with cooking spray.
• Lightly spray the grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high.
• Thread the chicken onto 3 skewers, discarding the marinade. Use one of the remaining 4 skewers for each of the vegetables-zucchini, bell pepper, tomatoes, and remaining 8 onion wedges. Lightly spray the kebabs with cooking spray.
• Arrange the kebabs in a single layer on the grill. Cook, covered, for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the vegetables are tender, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Transfer the kebabs to a rimmed baking sheet as they become ready.
• Slide the chicken and vegetables from the skewers onto a platter. Serve with the reserved 1/3 cup dipping sauce.
