Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing equally among the 8 skewers.
- Grill the chicken kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the garlic sauce by combining the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Once the chicken kebabs are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the chicken kebabs with the prepared garlic sauce on the side, and enjoy!
The history of Chicken Kebab dates back to the Middle East, where it was traditionally prepared on skewers over an open flame. This succulent dish has since spread worldwide, with each region adding its own unique twist. The addition of extra garlic sauce elevates the flavors, creating a tantalizing experience for the taste buds. Renowned chefs in Turkey, Lebanon, and Greece have perfected the art of marinating the chicken in a blend of spices and yogurt, resulting in tender, juicy kebabs. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in authentic Middle Eastern restaurants, where the garlic sauce is made with fresh garlic, lemon juice, and creamy tahini. The key to a perfect Chicken Kebab lies in the marination process, where the chicken absorbs the flavors of garlic, paprika, and cumin, resulting in a mouthwatering delight. For a unique twist, some chefs also grill the kebabs over charcoal for a smoky aroma. Whether enjoyed with pita bread or rice, the extra garlic sauce adds a creamy, zesty kick that leaves a lasting impression.
