  • Total Time: 1 hour 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g ground chicken
  • 1 onion, finely grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper paste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons yogurt
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Pita bread or flatbreads, for serving
  • Fresh vegetables (tomato, cucumber, onion) for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with grated onion, minced garlic, red pepper paste, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and yogurt. Mix well and let marinate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Thread marinated chicken onto the skewers, pressing the meat around the stick.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.
  4. Remove kebabs from skewers and serve with pita bread, fresh salad, and sauces.

Notes

  • Leftover kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat by grilling or baking in the oven.
  • For spicier kebabs, increase red pepper paste or add chili flakes.
  • Great to pair with grilled vegetables or tabbouleh salad.
