Suya-Spiced Grilled Chicken Skewers with Onion-Tomato Relish

Suya spice is what gives Nigerian street-side grilled meat its signature crust: ground roasted peanuts, ginger, and cayenne rubbed straight onto the meat before it hits the grill. Here, that same blend coats cubed chicken breast, which chars quickly on skewers and stays lean since there's no batter or deep-frying involved.

A quick relish of diced tomato, red onion, and cucumber, brightened with lime, gets spooned over the top just before serving. It cuts through the spice and keeps the plate feeling fresh rather than heavy.

This is a straightforward high-protein, low-carb dinner or snack: the chicken carries the protein load, the peanuts add a small amount of healthy fat, and there's no rice or starch competing for space on the plate. It also fits well for anyone eating with fitness and recovery in mind, since a full skewer delivers a meaningful amount of protein per serving.
