A kebab refers to an assortment of meat recipes that originated in the Middle East. Lamb was the original meat of choice for kebabs, but due to the diverse taste preference of the world, almost all kinds of meat can be used to make one – even vegetables. This Chicken Kebab Recipe that we have here has a little twist of Indian Spices.

Chicken Kebab Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
• 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced into squares
• 1 piece green bell pepper, sliced into squares
• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 1 small zucchini, sliced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Cooking Procedure

1. Combine garlic powder, salt, ground black pepper, cinnamon powder, nutmeg, olive oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix well.
2. Put the chicken in the bowl and mix with the other ingredients. Place the bowl in the fridge and marinate overnight.
3. Skewer the vegetables (bell pepper, onion, and zucchini) and chicken alternately until the skewer is almost full. Note: if you are using a bamboo skewer, try to soak it in water for at least 20 minutes so that it won’t burn easily.
4. Grill each side of Chicken Kebab in medium heat until the color turns medium brown.
5. Transfer to a serving plate and serve. You can eat this with rice, bread, and salad.
6. Share and enjoy!
