Heat a grill pan on medium heat
1- place the skewers and cook for about 5 to 8 mins on each side
or
place the marinated tikkas flat on the heated grill pan. Cook for about 5 to 8 mins on each side
Then flip the tikkas and let the other side cook for another 5 to 8 mins.

Notes

You can use chicken breast as well. but make sure you cook for about 5 mins on each side and not more.
Do not overcook the chicken. Once overcooked, it will lose all the moistness and tenderness and will no longer be succulent.

Fresh chicken is what I recommend. If using frozen, thaw completely and then marinate the chicken.
