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.

EASY CHICKEN KEBABS



Easy Chicken Kebabs image

This is modified from Madhur Jaffrey's Quick & Easy Indian Cooking. I love her recipes, but find that they call for far more fat than my diet can sustain, so I've left all the flavor but cut the butter and oil. These are wonderful as either an appetizer to share with a crowd, or a main dish for 4. Just a note- turmeric stains, so please be careful not to get the marinade on your counter, or your clothes.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chickpea flour (I just use AP flour)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you like it spicy)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
4 teaspoons melted butter (for basting)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes. Put in a mixing bowl and rub with the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt and flour, whisking to combine well. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the ginger, garlic, cayenne, turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. Mix well, then pour the yougurt mixture over the chicken. Mix to coat all of the chicken pieces, then set aside for at least 15 minutes. (You could leave in the refrigerator overnight at this point, if you wish.).
  • Preheat your broiler or grill to high heat.
  • Thread the chicken onto skewers (remember to soak the skewers first if you are using wooden ones, so they don't burn). Place on a broiling pan (if using the oven) or directly onto the grill grate. Baste with half of the melted butter.
  • Cook for five minutes, then flip and baste with the remaining butter. Cook for 2 - 3 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately.

EASY CHUTNEY CHICKEN KEBABS



Easy Chutney Chicken Kebabs image

I have not tried this, but it was in today's newspaper and I wanted to share. With bbq season practically here, I thought this was a great recipe to have on hand. Prep time includes overnight marinating, which is not necessary. Kebabs can be served as a main course, an appetizer, or just a snack!

Time P1DT15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
6 bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup mango chutney (or your favourite chutney)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Place chicken chunks in a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a food processor or blender, place chutney, soy sauce, sugar and oil; process or blend until mixture is smooth.
  • Pour chutney mixture over chicken and stir to coat well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour; maximum 24 hours.
  • Before dinner, find skewers; if metal, fine, but if using wooden ones they must be soaked in water for 30 minutes so they won't burn.
  • Preheat bbq and grease grill, or preheat broiler.
  • Prepare kebabs: Put 3 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces of pepper, alternating, on each skewer.
  • Chicken will cook faster on bbq: cook kebabs about 8 minutes, turning often.
  • Or broil on wire rack on shallow baking sheet set on rack in centre of oven, about 8 inches from broiler; broil, turning partway through, until chicken feels springy, about 15 minutes.

SEEKH KEBAB WITH MINT CHUTNEY



Seekh Kebab With Mint Chutney image

Served at most traditional Indian restaurants, seekh kebabs are made with ground lamb that's been seasoned with garam masala, cumin seeds, fresh ginger and fresh cilantro, then grilled and served with raw red onion and bright mint chutney to offset the richness and heat. This recipe comes from Chintan Pandya, the executive chef at Adda Indian Canteen, a New York restaurant that specializes in homestyle Indian food. You'll need to purchase deggi mirch, an Indian chile powder that tastes somewhat like a smoky paprika, but is mild enough to be used in a quantity large enough to color the meat red. The spiced meat mixture benefits from chilling to help retain its shape on the grill, but you could also roll it into meatballs and pan-sear them on the stovetop or roast them in the oven, if the season dictates.

Time 45m

Yield 6 kebabs

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 1/4 pounds ground lamb
1 packed cup shredded Amul cheese or white Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
1/3 packed cup very finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons deggi chile powder, plus additional for garnish
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced green Thai chile or serrano chile (with seeds)
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon black cumin seeds (shah zeera) or regular cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Kosher salt
Neutral oil, for greasing
3 packed cups roughly chopped cilantro, leaves and tender stems
2 packed cups roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced green Thai or serrano chile (seeds included)
2 tablespoons anardana (dried pomegranate seeds), crushed, or very finely chopped fresh mango
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon granulated sugar, plus more as needed
Red onion, very thinly sliced, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the lamb skewers: In a large bowl, combine the lamb with the cheese, cilantro, chile powder, ginger, garlic, green chile, garam masala, cumin seeds, cardamom and 2 teaspoons salt. Shape the meat like a sausage into six 5-inch logs that are just under 2 inches thick. Skewer each and pack them tightly. Refrigerate for 2 hours and up to overnight to firm up.
  • Prepare the mint chutney: Add the cilantro, mint, red onion, ginger, green chile and 1/4 cup water to a blender. Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. (Add more water by the spoonful, if needed, until mixture is saucy.) Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the anardana, lemon juice and sugar; season to taste with salt and more sugar, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to use. (The mint chutney is best the day it's prepared, but it can be refrigerated one day in advance.)
  • Brush the grill with neutral oil and heat over medium. Grill the kebabs, rotating as needed, until browned all over and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with mint chutney, and very thinly sliced red onion, if desired. Sprinkle kebabs and onions (if using) with deggi chile powder and serve immediately.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

Chicken
4 garlic cloves
1 (2" piece) ginger, peeled
3 Tbsp. whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. ground cumin
1½ lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
Sumac onions
1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. sumac
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt
Hari chutney and assembly
Juice of 1 lime
1 green or red Thai chile, seeds removed if desired
1 garlic clove
½ cup coarsely chopped cilantro
½ cup coarsely chopped mint
½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, plus more
1 cup sour cream
Vegetable oil (for grill)
4-6 brioche hot dog buns, split
1 English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced on a diagonal
Special equipment:
Four to six 8" metal skewers or bamboo skewers, soaked 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Chicken
  • Smash garlic with a mortar and pestle to make a paste (you should have 1 Tbsp.) and transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat process with ginger (you should also have 1 Tbsp. You can also finely chop and then smash the garlic and ginger with the side of a chef's knife on a cutting board if you don't have a mortar and pestle.) Add yogurt, oil, salt, coriander, cayenne, and cumin to bowl and whisk to combine. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes, or chill up to 4 hours.
  • Sumac onions
  • Toss red onion, sumac, and salt in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
  • Hari chutney and assembly
  • Purée lime juice, chile, garlic, cilantro, mint, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor or blender until smooth and pourable. If you prefer a thinner chutney, drizzle in 1-3 Tbsp. ice water a tablespoonful at a time, processing until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and season chutney with more salt if needed. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Place sour cream in another small bowl and add 2 Tbsp. chutney; whisk to combine. Season herbed sour cream with salt. Cover both remaining chutney and herbed sour cream separately and chill until ready to serve.
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, taking care not to pack it too tightly. Grill, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and charred in spots, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and slide chicken from skewers. (Alternatively, broil skewers on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, turning once, about 5 minutes per side.)
  • Spread reserved herbed sour cream on cut sides of buns. Stuff buns with chicken, cucumber slices, and reserved sumac onions and drizzle with chutney. Do ahead: Hari chutney and herbed mayo can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the kebabs in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Be sure to soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the kebabs over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the kebabs with your favorite chutney, yogurt sauce, or dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Chutney chicken kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The combination of savory chicken, sweet and tangy chutney, and fresh vegetables makes these kebabs a surefire hit.
