Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 small or 1 medium zucchini (sliced into ½-inch thick rounds)
1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 small red or yellow onion (cut into 1-inch chunks with a few layers still together)
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in a dish of warm water for at least 20 minutes.
  • Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag or dish: olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Squish to mix in the bag or whisk if using a dish.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Make sure that all of the chicken is coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Place the zucchini rounds and chopped bell peppers in a baking dish or bowl. Drizzle with the 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss gently to coat. Add the onion to the bowl last and mix in very gently so that the onion layers stay together as best as possible.
  • Put the chicken and vegetables on the skewers, dividing evenly between the 8 skewers and arranging the vegetable pieces in between the chicken pieces. Aim to put about 3 chicken pieces and 2-3 pieces of each vegetable per skewer. Discard all of the used marinade that held the chicken.
  • Grill over medium heat for 12-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to cook all sides evenly. Kabobs are done when chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F.

CHICKEN KEBABS



Chicken kebabs image

Make these simple chicken kebabs for a hearty family meal with plenty of flavour. The spiced marinade is deliciously sticky and adds warmth

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless chicken breasts , cut into bitesize chunks
2 red peppers , cut into chunks
1 red onion , cut into chunks
4 flatbread or pittas
chilli sauce and shredded lettuce to serve
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp mild or hot curry powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp tomato purée
150g natural yogurt , plus more to serve
1 tbsp vegetable oil , plus a little for brushing
1 garlic clove , crushed
2 tbsp lemon juice , plus wedges to serve

Steps:

  • Mix the marinade ingredients with some seasoning. Add the chunks of chicken, mix well, cover and chill. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Soak 12 bamboo skewers in cold water - this will prevent them burning when cooking (or use metal skewers). Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers (discard any remaining marinade), alternating with pieces of pepper and onion. Brush the skewers lightly with oil and season.
  • Heat the grill to high. Grill the kebabs for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until golden and lightly charred. The veg should be tender, and the chicken cooked through, so it easily slides off the skewers.
  • Warm the flatbreads in a griddle pan or dry frying pan on a medium heat until golden and toasted. Serve with the kebabs, lettuce, chilli sauce, extra yogurt and squeeze over some lemon just before eating.

BEST-EVER GRILLED CHICKEN KEBABS



Best-Ever Grilled Chicken Kebabs image

This recipe is very simple, very easy, and tastes better than anything you'll find in a restaurant. Seriously!

Provided by Axel8741

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon
1/4-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 pinch dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into sections
1/2 lb grape tomatoes (they look like small, pear shaped cherry tomatoes, but they are much better on the grill, and taste)
2 red peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place chicken breast pieces in a bowl.
  • Pour in enough olive oil to completely cover pieces, squeeze the lemon over them, and then add the garlic, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, and a couple of twists of cracked pepper.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Assemble kebabs, and grill until chicken is no longer pink, about 10-15 minutes depending on your grill.
  • Don't overcook them, though.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Opt for organic or free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) will tenderize and infuse it with delicious flavors.
  • Use a metal or bamboo skewer: Metal or bamboo skewers are preferred over wooden skewers as they are less likely to burn.
  • Preheat your grill or pan: Make sure your grill or pan is preheated to a medium-high heat before adding the chicken skewers.
  • Cook the chicken skewers until cooked through: Depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces, cooking time may vary. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, but not overcooked.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Chicken kebabs are traditionally served with tzatziki sauce, but you can also try other sauces such as hummus, salsa, or a yogurt-based sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken kebabs are a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as an appetizer. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make delicious chicken kebabs at home. Whether you are grilling, pan-frying, or baking your chicken skewers, the key is to use high-quality ingredients, marinate the chicken, and cook it to perfection. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
