Step 1

Place all the ingredients in a small food processor and pulse until you have a smooth paste. Set aside.

Step 2

Mix the chicken and spice mix together, and set aside for at least a few hours to marinate, preferably overnight. Also, place the wooden skewers in water, to soak overnight as well.

Step 3

The next day, skewer the chicken, dividing it up between 8 - 10 skewers.

Step 4

Prepare the grill to a medium high heat, and brush the grill with some oil.

Step 5

Place the chicken skewers on the grill, and cook them about 5 - 10 minutes per side until the chicken has nice grill marks. Cook the chicken kebabs on all sides.

Step 6

Sprinkle black pepper and chopped basil on top before serving. Serve with Romaine lettuce (optional).
