Here you have a super easy and delicious recipe
to make Chicken Kebabs, they are delicious and perfect for this time of the
year. I hope you like them as much as we did. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 3 Chicken Breast (cut in small chunks)
- 1 Red Bell Pepper (cut in small chunks)
- 1 Green Bell Pepper (cut in small chunks)
- 1 Red Onion (cut in small chunks)
- 1 ½ Cups Pineapple Juice
- 1 Lime
- 2 Tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt (+ to taste)
- 1 tsp Black Pepper (+ to taste)
- ½ tsp Ground Cumin
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme
- 1 Tbsp Minced Ginger
- 2 Minced Garlic Cloves
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper (optional / to taste)
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar (optional)
- Metal Skewers
In a small bowl, combine the paprika with the
salt, pepper, cumin, thyme, rosemary and the zest of one lime, stir well until
combined then set aside.
In another small bowl combine the oil with the
minced ginger and the minced garlic, stir and microwave for one minute so the
the garlic and ginger will star releasing their flavor. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the pineapple juice
with the juice of one lime, and the soy sauce, season with crushed red pepper
to taste and if you want, you can also add in two tablespoons of brown sugar,
stir until combined and set aside.
Season the chicken pieces with half of the oil
mixture, also season the chicken with about one or two tablespoon of the
paprika mixture, toss until the chicken chunks are well season with the oil and
the spices, and then pour the pineapple juice mixture all over the chicken
pieces, toss to make sure all the chicken chunks are well covered with the
juice, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate this for at least 30 minutes
before cooking it. If you have more time, feel free to marinate it for a longer
time.
In another bowl, place the bell peppers and the
onion, remember the peppers and the onions are already chopped into chunks
about the same size as the chicken pieces. Season these vegetables with
the leftover oil mixture and with some of the paprika mixture, toss together so
all the vegetables are well seasoned. And also refrigerate the vegetables until
you are ready to use them.
After at least 30 minutes, now you can make the
kebabs. Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
And now you can start building the kebabs. Just
grab your skewers, and grab the chicken and the vegetables and thread them onto
the skewer, alternating the chicken with the vegetables. My kebabs have five
chicken pieces and between each chicken piece, they have plenty of vegetables.
But feel free to build your kebabs anyway that you like .
Once they are done, pour some of the leftover
marinade over them, and bake them at 450ºF for about 12 - 20 minutes or until
the chicken is well cooked. The cooking time depends on the size of
the chicken pieces, so if the chicken pieces are smaller, the cooking time may
be less than 12 minutes and if they are bigger, the cooking time might be
longer. Keep that in mind.
After 12 minutes, my kebabs are ready, and I’m
just going to serve them with Cajun style rice and that’s it.
Enjoy!
