Oven-grilled Chicken kebabs

May 20, 2017

These Chicken kebabs are a great protein option to have at any table -They are so easy to put together and even easier to eat!

A little prep is all the work needed to make these delicious chicken kebabs.

I use boneless chicken thigh for my kebabs because they are a moist cut and don’t dry out as fast as chicken breast.

Adding plain yoghurt to the chicken helps tenderise it resulting in soft, succulent chicken pieces. 

What i love about these chicken kebabs are all the side options you can have. Garlic bread and a salad. Pita bread and humus dip. Fries. Buttered Naan. Vegetable rice – The options are endless! With so many side variations to this dish, theres no getting bored.

I like to marinate these and freeze them in a ziplock bag for those days when i just cannot muster the energy or the strength to cook -these days tend to come a lot more now i have a toddler!

    Hi. Hoping you and your family are well.
    I have been eyeing this recipe for a while now but because measurements are abit tricky, I’ve been holding back. I live in the US. I honestly can’t wait to make these because the last time I made one of your recipes, I became addicted🙈 Yes, mahamri! When I give this recipe a try, I will let you know how it turned out. Many thanks 😊
