  • 1/2 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped gingerroot
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons paprika

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a blender container, combine yogurt, Nakano seasoned rice vinegar and remaining ingredients except chicken. Cover and run on high until smooth.
  2. Place chicken in a non-metallic bowl or sealable plastic bag. Add marinade and stir to coat chicken. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight, stirring chicken one or more times while marinating.

  4. Drain chicken well and discard marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill kebobs about 8 minutes over direct heat with cover closed. Use a metal spatula to turn kebobs. Grill with cover closed 6-8 minutes more or until chicken is no longer pink inside
