mediterranean chicken kabobs

These juicy grilled chicken kabobs are a staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. I&#39;ve marinated these cubes of chicken in Mediterranean spices and grilled them to perfection. You can easily double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd!

Grilled Chicken Kabobs

chicken breast

olive oil

tbsp yogurt (see notes)

paprika

tsp cumin

coriander

Aleppo pepper

tomato paste

lemon (juice of)

tsp kosher salt

In a large bowl mix the olive oil with the olive oil, yogurt, paprika, cumin, coriander, Aleppo pepper, tomato paste, lemon juice and salt. Add the chicken to the mixture and using a tong, move the pieces around to make sure they&#39;re all coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and marinade in the fridge for 30 minutes up to 8 hours.

When you&#39;re ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium high, or 400 degrees F.

Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers. Brush the grates with vegetable oil and place the chicken kabobs on the grill grates.

Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping once or twice to make sure they cook evenly. The chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Serve with pita, rice and salad.

These juicy grilled chicken kabobs are full of flavor. The chicken pieces are marinated in Mediterranean spices and grilled to perfection.

These Grilled Chicken Shish Kabobs are flavorful &amp; easy to make! The chicken is marinated with bright Mediterranean spices on a skewer with fresh veggies.

½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into large bite-sized pieces)

lemon (juiced)

garlic

cumin

cinnamon

salt

black pepper

onion

bell peppers

vegetable oil (for greasing the grill)

parsley (for serving)

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the mixture and mix well to combine. Allow the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and grease the grill with vegetable oil.

When ready to grill, thread the chicken onto the skewers, with the vegetables in between the chicken kabobs. Pour any leftover marinade on top of the chicken kabobs. Makes 6-9 skewers.

Grill the chicken kabobs until fully cooked and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes, turning the skewers every couple minutes to allow for even cooking.

Remove the chicken from the grill and serve with Lebanese rice or any other sides, if desired.

Delicious recipe! I made this on the grill and the flavor was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Love your recipes!  After marinading the chicken for the chicken kebabs recipe, is there anything that can be done with the leftover marinade?    It would be great to be able to cook it somehow so that it could be safely spooned over the chicken or over rice.  the other option would be to just make more and don't add the chicken.

thank you  James in Canada

Made these for dinner tonight and they were delicious.  Great flavour and an easy meal. Will definitely make them again.

This marinade is a keeper. After marinating chicken thighs for nine hours today we just polished off 2 chicken and vegetable grilled kabobs each. The flavor combination from the spices was absolutely outstanding! Saved one skewer (although it was hard not to devour) for leftovers tomorrow night to slide into a pita. We are foodies and feel really, really good that we were lucky enough to find our favorite marinade ever. Thank you!

I made this as part of my menu for a 90th birthday party.  We had 20 people with the youngest feign 16 and the oldest 90 and Everyone loved it!

I brought my 90 year old bonus mom out of assisted living to have a surprise party. Day later she is talking about the chicken and how much she liked it. 

Thank you for helping me make her birthday special.

The flavors on the chicken were outstanding!

Delicious marinade. The cinnamon is a great addition.

Fantastic! Great flavor! Also can be done in oven if skewers are not available.

I made this dish for the first time yesterday and it was a hit! Thank you!
