Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breast fillet
3 Tbsp spanish olive oil (plus extra for oiling)
1 lemon, juiced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp hot smoked paprika (or your choice)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp dried oregano
salt
fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a large, shallow, nonmetallic dish. Put all the remaining ingredients, except parsley, in a bowl and whisk together. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss the meat in the marinade until well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight, turning the chicken 2-3 times if possible.
  • 2. If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in cold water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning and to keep food from sticking. If using metal skewers, lightly brush with oil. Preheat the broiler or grill pan. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, reserving the remaining marinade and thread an equal quantity onto each prepared skewer leaving a little space between each piece.
  • 3. Brush the broiler rack or grill pan with a little oil. Add the kabobs and cook, turning frequently and brushing with the reserved marinade halfway through cooking, for 15 minutes or until browned on all sides, tender, and cooked through. Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped parsley to garnish.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Opt for organic or free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Choose vegetables that have different colors and textures, such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
  • Skewer the chicken and vegetables tightly: This will help prevent them from falling off the skewers while cooking.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Baste the kabobs with the marinade while grilling: This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include tzatziki sauce, hummus, or chimichurri sauce.

Conclusion:

Moroccan chicken kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The vegetables add a pop of color and flavor to the kabobs, and the dipping sauce adds a creamy and tangy touch. These kabobs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
