CHICKEN KEBABS

Make these simple chicken kebabs for a hearty family meal with plenty of flavour. The spiced marinade is deliciously sticky and adds warmth

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless chicken breasts , cut into bitesize chunks
2 red peppers , cut into chunks
1 red onion , cut into chunks
4 flatbread or pittas
chilli sauce and shredded lettuce to serve
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp mild or hot curry powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp tomato purée
150g natural yogurt , plus more to serve
1 tbsp vegetable oil , plus a little for brushing
1 garlic clove , crushed
2 tbsp lemon juice , plus wedges to serve

Steps:

  • Mix the marinade ingredients with some seasoning. Add the chunks of chicken, mix well, cover and chill. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Soak 12 bamboo skewers in cold water - this will prevent them burning when cooking (or use metal skewers). Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers (discard any remaining marinade), alternating with pieces of pepper and onion. Brush the skewers lightly with oil and season.
  • Heat the grill to high. Grill the kebabs for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until golden and lightly charred. The veg should be tender, and the chicken cooked through, so it easily slides off the skewers.
  • Warm the flatbreads in a griddle pan or dry frying pan on a medium heat until golden and toasted. Serve with the kebabs, lettuce, chilli sauce, extra yogurt and squeeze over some lemon just before eating.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your kebabs will taste. Choose organic, free-range chicken, and fresh vegetables.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to one or two vegetables. Use a variety of colors and textures to create a kebab that is both visually appealing and delicious.
  • Cook the kebabs over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chicken and vegetables, while keeping the inside moist.
  • Serve the kebabs with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce will add an extra layer of flavor to the kebabs. Try a yogurt sauce, a tahini sauce, or a mango chutney.

Conclusion:

Exotic chicken kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a kebab that is both visually appealing and delicious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give exotic chicken kebabs a try.
