Chicken kebabs are a versatile and delicious dish perfect for grilling, picnics, or weeknight dinners. Here’s a simple guide to making flavorful chicken kebabs from scratch.
Ingredients:
- 500g boneless chicken, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)
Steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
2. Prepare Vegetables: Chop vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
3. Assemble Kebabs: Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating for color and balance. Leave a small gap between pieces for thorough cooking.
4. Grill or Bake: Preheat grill or oven to 200°C (400°F). Grill kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. If baking, place on a lined tray and cook for 15-18 minutes.
5. Serve: Let kebabs rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with rice, salad, or a yogurt dip for a complete meal.
Customize with your favorite veggies or spices—these kebabs are easy to adapt and always a crowd-pleaser!
