Equipment

  • Grill Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Bamboo or Metal Skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast cut into cubes (around 500 grams)

For Marination

  • ¼ cup Lemon Juice
  • 3 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 4 tablespoon Coriander leaves finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Red Chilli Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Take chicken in a bowl, add all the marination ingredients and mix well. Leave it to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Now skewers this in a bamboo skewer and place it on a preheated grill pan. Cook for 3 to 4 mins on one side and flip over and cook for another 3 mins on other side. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use chicken thigh instead of chicken breast. Thigh stays juicy than chicken breast.
  • You can adjust the spice level according to your taste.
  • Chicken breast tends to over cook faster, so always keep an eye when cooking chicken breast.
  • The meat can be left to marinate for 30 minutes, 2 hours to overnight in fridge.
  • Instead of grilling meat in grill pan, you can cook in oven. Details below.

Chicken Kebab in oven

Once marination is done. Skewer the chicken. Place it in a cast iron pan, drizzle with some olive oil. Place the cast iron pan straight into the 250 degree C preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes on the top rack. Flip the chicken in between for even baking.

Chicken Kebab on Grill

You can barbeque chicken kebab in open grill. Just place it in a greased barbeque and cook for couple of minutes on each side. Make sure you cook it on medium heat. Make sure you base the chicken with butter and extra lemon juice.
