Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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.

SPICED BEEF AND CHICKEN KABOBS WITH CUCUMBER YOGURT

Spiced Beef and Chicken Kabobs with Cucumber Yogurt image

Provided by Ayesha Curry

Categories main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 Persian cucumber, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound beef sirloin tip, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
12 mixed-color baby bell peppers (about 8 ounce)
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

For the yogurt sauce: Stir together the yogurt, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Add salt to taste. Refrigerate while the meat marinates. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
For the kabobs: Mix the yogurt, cilantro, coriander, cumin, turmeric, allspice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the beef and chicken (you can separate them into 2 bowls if you prefer) and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
Toss the peppers and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
Thread the chicken and beef onto separate skewers (about 5 pieces of meat per skewer), threading a piece of onion between each piece of meat--for even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skewers. Use 2 skewers to thread the peppers, to make them easier to turn. (Make 4 double skewers with 3 peppers each.)
Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on the outside and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes for the beef (medium-rare), 10 to 12 minutes for the chicken, and about 12 minutes for the vegetables.
Serve the kabobs with lemon wedges and the yogurt sauce on the side.

Grilled Curry Chicken Kebabs Recipe image

Even relatively dry, bland chicken can come out juicy and flavor-packed on the grill. All it takes is a quick injection of flavor in the form of a great marinade with the right ingredients, plus a little bit of good technique.

Categories Appetizer Mains

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 tablespoons coconut milk
6 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon minced shallot (about 1 shallot)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, minced garlic, curry powder, fish sauce, chili flakes, minced shallot, and kosher salt. Stir until everything is combined and add the chicken. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
When you're ready to cook, thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers.
Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
Place skewers on the middle of the grill (between the hot and cool sections), cover, and cook until skewers are well browned on the first side, about 5 minutes. If skewers are browning too fast, shift them to the cooler side; if not browning fast enough, move them closer to the hotter side. Flip the skewers and cook until the second side is browned and the thickest piece of chicken registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving platter, let rest for 2 minutes, and serve.

MIDDLE EASTERN-STYLE GRILLED CHICKEN KABOBS

Middle Eastern-Style Grilled Chicken Kabobs image

You'll make these flavorful chicken kabobs all summer long.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories Dinner

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (reduce to ½ teaspoon for less heat)
Zest from one lemon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from one lemon
1¾ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 garlic cloves, minced
2½ to 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1½-inch pieces (see note)
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill

Steps:

In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Thread the chicken onto metal skewers, folding if the pieces are long and thin, alternating with the red onions. Be sure not to cram the skewers. (Note: You'll need between 6-8 skewers.) Place the kabobs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the marinade all over the meat, coating well. Cover and refrigerate at least eight hours or overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. To grease the grill, lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. Grill the chicken kabobs until golden brown and cooked through, turning the skewers occasionally, 13 to 15 minutes. (The yogurt marinade makes these kabobs prone to sticking to the grill grates; if necessary, use a metal BBQ spatula to scrape underneath the kabobs and release them.) Transfer the kabobs to a platter and serve.
Note: I've specified boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe; they're juicier and more flavorful than chicken breasts, and they work better in this type of yogurt and lemon-based marinade. They're also much easier to cook without drying out.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your kabobs taste their best. Look for chicken that is free-range and organic, and use fresh vegetables and herbs.
Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help it stay moist and tender while cooking. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Skewer the chicken and vegetables tightly: This will help prevent them from falling off the skewers while cooking. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
Cook the kabobs over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the kabobs with your favorite sides: Rice, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a summer cookout. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
