MOROCCAN CHICKEN KEBABS

Categories Chicken Quick & Easy Dinner Healthy

Yield 4 skewer

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 Tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
1 large zucchini, cut into 1-inch-thick half-moons
2 small red onions, quartered through the root
4 long skewers for assembling the kebabs

Steps:

* Mix the chicken, orange juice, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours. * Off heat, coat grill with cooking spray. Prepare gas grill for direct, high-heat grilling or build a high-heat charcoal bed in the center of the coal grate on a charcoal grill. * Divide the chicken, zucchini and onion among four large skewers, threading the meat and vegetables over the pointy ends and down the skewers. * Set the skewers directly over the heat and grill for 16 minutes, turning about every 4 minutes onto each of the other three sides, so that all four sides are well browned. When turning the skewers, use tongs to gently grasp some of the meat at the center. Do not turn the skewers by their ends - or put your hands down near the heat source. * Serving size: 1 skewer.

Tips:

When selecting chicken breasts, opt for ones that are of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
To create flavorful and tender kebabs, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Use a variety of vegetables for the kebabs, such as zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
Grill the kebabs over medium heat to prevent them from drying out.
Brush the kebabs with melted butter or olive oil during grilling to keep them moist.
Serve the kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or hummus.

Conclusion:

Moroccan chicken kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. By following these tips, you can create kebabs that are flavorful, tender, and sure to impress your guests. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy this mouthwatering dish!
