Chicken Kababs Recipe

Chicken Kababs Notes

We make these year round. Great for barbecues or for mid-winter dinners. We have been making chicken kababs in yogurt-spice marinade for years, but the Baharat spice mix makes it easier. Yogurt is a great tenderizer for meat. If marinated overnight, the kababs take minimal time and effort to put together.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (middle-eastern if available)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon baharat spice blend
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste, salt
  • 1 each, vegetables of your choice, cut into chunks (onions, zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers)

Serves / Yields

4-6 servings

Preparation Instructions

Cut chicken into 1 1/2 inch cubes.

Mix the remaining ingredients thoroughly and check salt. Marinate the chicken for 2 hours or overnight in a sealed non-reactive container. Zip lock bags work well.

Oil skewers and thread chicken, alternating with vegetables. Baste vegetables with marinade. Grill, turning and basting occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until done.

Helpful Hints

The kababs can also be cooked under the broiler.

Serve with Basmati rice or couscous with lemon wedges. A salad of romaine lettuce with cucumbers and tomatoes, sprinkled with olive oil, lemon juice and salt will round out the meal.

Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones even bruise at too heavy a human touch. It hit her then that every strawberry she had ever eaten--every piece of fruit--had been picked by calloused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represented someone's knees, someone's aching back and hips, someone with a bandanna on her wrist to wipe away the sweat. Why had no one told her about this before?
