Chicken kebabs are incredibly simple to make. It is basically marinated chicken that is threaded onto skewers and then cooked through.
For this recipe, we will use a marinade of yoghurt with paprika, cumin, a little cinnamon, chilli flakes, garlic and lemon. It’s perfectly safe to cook chicken kebabs in the oven, as always; just check that they are cooked thoroughly before serving.
Also, if you’re using bamboo skewers, soak them for about 30 minutes in water before using. You can easily make this recipe even lower in fat by using chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs and using low fat, or fat-free yoghurt.
You could also add in extra vegetables, like peppers or onions, onto the skewers.
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs, boneless and skinless and cut lengthways
