1 cup Marie's® Original Coleslaw dressing
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut in large bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, chopped in large pieces
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water
½ head green cabbage, shredded

1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
½ cup Marie's® Original Coleslaw dressing
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 pieces pita bread
2 medium tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Marie's Original Coleslaw dressing, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Alternate pieces of chicken and onion onto each skewer, then place skewers in a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken skewers, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, plus more for greasing
1 lemon, zested and halved
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts), cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch cubes
4 Persian cucumbers
3 to 4 sprigs dill, fronds picked
One 8-ounce block halloumi, cut into eight 1/4-inch thick slices
4 pitas
Tahini, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F or preheat a large grill pan over medium heat. Clean and oil the grates or grill pan.
  • Combine the lemon zest with the 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, the cumin, turmeric, salt, garlic powder and pepper in a medium bowl; stir together. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes to 1 hour, then thread 5 to 6 chicken cubes onto each skewer.
  • While the chicken marinates, peel the cucumber into long ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the dill fronds, the juice from 1/2 of the zested lemon and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Grill the skewers, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and all sides are charred, 8 to 10 minutes total. Remove to a platter and squeeze juice from the remaining 1/2 lemon over the top.
  • Two minutes before the chicken is done cooking, grill the halloumi until warmed through and lightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
  • For each serving, top 1 pita with some of the cucumber salad, 1 to 2 slices of the halloumi and 2 chicken skewers. Drizzle with tahini and serve.

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup white vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Tips:

  • Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.

  • Serve the chicken and mushroom kebabs immediately with your favorite sides.
