CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH DUKKAH CRUST AND BALSAMIC REDUCTION

Chicken Skewers With Dukkah Crust and Balsamic Reduction image

Dukkah makes everything better. This Middle Eastern spice mix, often including sesame seeds, sumac, and hazelnuts, is most commonly combined with oil and used as a dipping sauce. This recipe coats the chicken in mustard and dukkah and is accompanied by a sweet-sour sauce of honey and balsamic vinegar. If you have the time, you can make your own dukkah using Recipe #78932 or something similar. Otherwise, you can find it at gourmet grocery stores, at Middle Eastern stores, or online at Spice Bazaar. The vinegar-honey sauce and dukkah (if making) can be done up to five days ahead of time. Coat the chicken in the dukkah mix up to 2 hours ahead of time and then refrigerate them. When ready to eat, bake off the skewers and warm up the sauce over low heat until it is syrupy. Slacker solution: If you can't find dukkah and don't feel like making it yourself, substitute toasted fine breadcrumbs. Recipe courtesy of Aïda Mollenkamp.

Time 1h

Yield 24 skewers, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

24 chicken tenders, also called chicken tenderloins
1 cup dukkah (try Dukkah, it's fantastic!)
1/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (about 1 ounce)
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
24 metal skewers (if using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using) or 24 bamboo skewers (if using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using)

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F
Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by half, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a shallow bowl, combine the mustard and olive oil, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the chicken in the mustard mixture until well coated.
Combine the dukkah and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a wide, shallow dish and mix thoroughly. Roll each tender in the dukkah mix until well coated.
Thread a chicken tender on each skewer. Place the chicken skewers on wire cooling racks. Nest each wire rack in a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until the meat is firm and the dukkah crust is golden, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve the skewers with the vinegar-honey sauce.

Categories Buffet

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

6 chicken breasts , sliced into long, thin strips
2 large aubergines , cut into 3cm cubes
3 tbsp cumin seed
1 tbsp ground cumin
4 tbsp clear honey , plus 2 tbsp for drizzling
2 tbsp olive oil
zest and juice 1 lemon
2 tbsp sesame seed
2 tsp cumin seed
2 tsp coriander seed
50g shelled pistachio
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp crushed black pepper

Steps:

Pre-soak wooden skewers in warm water for 20 mins. (You will need about 32 skewers and they must be able to fit inside a griddle pan or frying pan.) Meanwhile, mix the marinade ingredients and some seasoning in a large bowl, then tip half into another bowl. Add the chicken to 1 bowl and the aubergine to the other. (If you're not catering for vegetarians, you can mix them together in one bowl.) Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 20 mins, or up to 24 hrs.
To make the dukkah, toast the sesame, cumin and coriander seeds in a dry pan until aromatic. Meanwhile, tip the pistachios into a small food processor and blitz until finely chopped, but still with some texture, then transfer to a bowl. Tip the toasted seeds and spices into the processor and blitz again until finely chopped, then add these to the pistachios, along with the paprika, black pepper and a good pinch of salt. Mix, then set aside until ready to serve.
Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Thread the aubergine onto skewers, about 4-5 chunks per skewer, and place on 2 parchment-lined trays. Bake for 20-25 mins until tender and golden, turning the skewers and swapping the trays halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan or a frying pan (or use both to speed up the cooking) over a medium-high heat. Thread the chicken pieces onto the remaining skewers. Cook the chicken skewers in batches in the hot pan, turning regularly to prevent the honey burning. When nicely charred, but not cooked through, transfer to a baking tray. When all the chicken skewers are browned, drizzle them and the aubergine skewers with the remaining honey. Pop the chicken into the oven with the aubergine for the final 5-10 mins cooking, or until they are cooked through and sticky. Serve the skewers with a bowl of dukkah for dipping.

DUKKAH CHICKEN

Dukkah Chicken image

I looked on Zaar for a recipe for this, and couldn't find any, so I decided to make up my own. I recommend serving this with my Mediterranean Fried Cous Cous (#388661)

Provided by RalMiska

Categories Chicken Breast

Time 2h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

500 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
2 cups natural yoghurt
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
breadcrumbs
2 cups breadcrumbs
1 cup parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons dukkah

Steps:

First, combine all of the marinade ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
Marinate the chicken strips in this mixture for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 180ºC, and line a baking tray with waxed paper.
Put all of the breadcrumb ingredients in a food processor, and give it a few quick pulses, to mix the cheese through evenly (If you're using powdered cheese, you can skip this step, and just put it straight into a bowl, and stir it through with a fork).
Dip each piece of marinated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, being sure to coat it thoroughly and evenly.
Place the chicken pieces on the baking tray, and give them a quick spray of olive oil.
Bake at 180ºC for 25 minutes, then turn them all over, and give them another 15 minutes.
Serve with Mediterranean Fried Cous Cous (#388661), and Herb, Lemon, and Garlic Dressing (#178208).

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, organic chicken breasts andthighs, and use a good quality balsamic vinegar.
To make sure the chicken is cooked evenly, skewer it tightly and cook it over medium heat.
Don't overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken skewers in a grill pan or in the oven.
Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or chimichurri sauce.

Conclusion:

These chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or picnics, and they can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and impressive dish that everyone will enjoy.
