Steps:

PERSIAN CHICKEN KABOBS
I just tried this recipe from my new Weber's Way to Grill book -- it turned out really good! It's a great quick recipe, as it can marinate for as little as 30 minutes, but still looks impressive. I've published this recipe in the minimum, so it can be used for 1 or 2 servings and easily increased for more. Preparation time includes minimum marinating time.

Steps:
- Combine onion, lemon juice, oregano, paprika and garlic and puree in a small food processor blender.
- Add olive oil and process until well mixed.
- Combine chicken and marinade in a resealable plastic bag or other container so that chicken is completely covered (I just put it in a bowl and toss it periodically). Let marinade for at least 30 minutes, but longer is ok, too. Remember, because the marinade has oil in it, the oil will rise to the top so you may have to keep stirring it if you want to let it sit longer.
- Thread chicken pieces onto skewers and grill on direct medium heat for approximately 8 minutes per side, depending on preference and grill heat. I usually have my grill up to high, so the chicken only takes about 12 minutes total.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for chicken skewers. If using chicken breasts, cut them into 1-inch pieces. If using chicken thighs, cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
- Skewer the chicken. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help to prevent them from burning. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving about 1 inch of space between each piece.
- Cook the chicken skewers. You can cook the chicken skewers on a grill, in a pan, or in the oven. If grilling, cook the skewers over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. If cooking in a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat and cook the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. If baking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the skewers for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve the chicken skewers. Serve the chicken skewers with rice, vegetables, and your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Persian chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
