  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.
