Don't be worried when you see the light corn syrup in the ingredients, it comes together great! It's a great change. You can even skip the vegetables and just skewer the chicken. Enjoy!

MARINADE FOR CHICKEN KABOBS

Marinade for Chicken Kabobs image

This is a great marinade for kabobs, do not marinade the chicken for more than 5 hours or the lemon juice will start to cook the chicken. This recipe may be doubled to 10-12 breasts but prepare two separate marinades in two separate bowls, do not combine the doubled marinade into one bowl. Feel free to thread on you favorite veggies such as mushrooms, cherry tomatoes or whatever you desire! If you prefer a sweeter glaze then increase the honey by a couple tablespoons.

Categories Dinner, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

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.

MARINATED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH A PEANUT SATAY SAUCE

Marinated Chicken Kebabs With a Peanut Satay Sauce image

I have been making this recipe for years and every time I make it I get rave reviews. It really is nothing special, I think, it is just that, the flavors all come together so well and the peanut sauce is so yummy. I make my sauce with smooth peanut butter as I am not a fan of crunchy, but I think this would be fine if you prefer to have the peanut chunks in the sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

5 chicken breasts (about 800g in weight.)
8 long skewers
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder (I use hot curry powder)
3 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
1 large onion, chopped into wedges
8 -16 mushrooms (depends on size if they are large chop in half and you will only need 8 if small and using whole mus)

Steps:

Combine all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or storage container. Chop chicken into about 2cm cubed pieces, add to marinade and marinate for several hours or overnight.
Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes prior to using to prevent them from burning while cooking.
Reserve marinade. Thread a piece of chicken followed by a mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken, mushroom, chicken, onion, chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken and vegetables.
Grill or BBQ skewers turning a couple of times and basting with the reserved marinade. Until cooked about 15-20 minutes.
I usually use red and yellow peppers as well but as I was serving these over a Thai-style salad that already had peppers in it, I chose to omit them.
Sauce.
I prefer to make this ahead of time and just re-heat as this allows for the flavors to really come out.
Heat oil in a pan, add onions and garlic and cook to soften onion.
Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine, leave on a low heat, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens. Sauce can be made a day ahead and just re-heated.

Tips:

Always use a shallow dish for marinating the chicken, as this will allow the marinade to evenly coat the chicken and penetrate deeply.
For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for long, you can use a quick marinade. Simply combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well blended. Then, add the chicken and stir to coat.
If you are using a metal dish to marinate the chicken, make sure that the marinade does not contain any acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar. Acidic ingredients can react with the metal and cause the chicken to have a metallic taste.
You can add additional flavor to your chicken kebabs by grilling them over a bed of vegetables, such as onions, peppers, and zucchini.
Serve the chicken kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or hummus.

Conclusion:

Chicken kebabs are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for cookouts, potlucks, and any other casual gathering. With so many different marinades to choose from, you can easily customize the flavor of your chicken kebabs to your liking.
