Grilled chicken breast kebab is an excellent, almost dietary alternative to regular meat fried over an open fire, because, as you know, this part of the bird contains the least amount of fat. True, many believe that this is why it is not very well suited for this method of heat treatment. Like, the kebab will turn out too dry. We hasten to reassure skeptical citizens: this will not happen if you do not overexpose the skewers on the fire and turn them over often. If you are not worried about the amount of extra calories, you can wrap the chicken fillet pieces with strips of bacon and fry the chicken breast skewers on the grill in this form. Try it!

How to cook Grilled chicken breast skewers

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast fillet into 3x3x3 cm pieces. Salt, pepper, sprinkle with curry powder and drizzle with olive oil. Rub this mixture into the pulp and leave at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.

Step 2

Pepper for barbecue clean, cut into pieces 3x3 cm, salt, brush with oil. Thread the chicken, peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto thin skewers, alternating between them. At the beginning and end of the skewers, it is better to string pepper.

Step 3

Kindle the coals in the grill - they should burn well and be covered with white ash. Set the skewers on the grill and fry the skewers, turning, until the chicken fillet is cooked, 10-12 minutes.

Grilled chicken breast skewers - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, chicken thighs will work well and provide a richer flavor. Just ensure they are boneless and skinless, and adjust the cooking time accordingly as they may take a bit longer to cook through.

What can I substitute for the curry powder?

If you don't have curry powder, a blend of turmeric, cumin, coriander, and ginger would be a good substitute. You can also experiment with paprika or your favorite spice blend.

How long can I store leftover grilled chicken skewers?

Leftover grilled chicken skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Can I freeze these skewers?

Yes, you can freeze the cooked skewers. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw completely before reheating.

What's a good dipping sauce for these chicken skewers?

A yogurt-based sauce with herbs, a sweet chili sauce, or a peanut sauce would all be delicious with these skewers.

How do I prevent the chicken from drying out on the grill?

Marinating the chicken helps to keep it moist. Also, be careful not to overcook it. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Can I make these vegetarian?

Absolutely! Substitute the chicken with firm tofu or halloumi cheese cut into similar sized pieces. Marinate as instructed, and grill until nicely browned.
