Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 scallions
1/4 cup packed fresh dill
1/4 cup packed fresh parsley
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
Kosher salt
Pinch of red pepper flakes
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 5 ounces each)
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

Steps:

  • Cut the white and light green parts of the scallions into 1 1/2-inch pieces; set aside. Chop the dark green parts and transfer to a blender. Add the dill, parsley, olive oil, 3 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt and puree until smooth. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Remove 2 tablespoons of the puree to a small bowl for the sauce; refrigerate until ready to use. Transfer the remaining puree to a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent scorching. Preheat a grill to medium. Thread 2 chicken thighs onto double skewers, placing lemon wedges and scallion pieces between the thighs; season the kebabs generously with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates. Grill the kebabs until the chicken is lightly charred and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Mix the yogurt with the reserved scallion puree and season with salt. Cut the chicken in half to separate each pair of skewers. Squeeze the grilled lemon over the chicken; serve with the yogurt sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN KEBABS



Grilled Chicken Kebabs image

The popular grilled chicken kebabs of Lebanon and Syria, called shish tawuq in Arabic are probably of Turkish origin, from the Turkish word for chicken, tavuk. As with so many grilled foods in the Arab world, this preparation is traditionally served at special grill restaurants in Lebanon. Every cook uses, it seems, a different spice blend, so I give you some options to play with. Serve these hot as a passed appetizer or at a sit-down dinner or meze party. If you are serving it as a passed appetizer, use 6 or 8-inch wooden skewers with fewer pieces of meat on them. You may have to cut the skewers down to size.

Time 6h40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat and cut into cubes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom seeds (from about 20 pods)
1 teaspoon dried or fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seeds, optional
1 teaspoon Baharat, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup black peppercorns
1/4 cup allspice berries
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken cubes in a glass or ceramic bowl or pan with the olive oil, lemon juice, onion, cinnamon, cardamom, thyme, salt, pepper, cumin, if using, Baharat, and paprika for 6 hours, covered, in the refrigerator, turning the cubes occasionally. Preheat a gas grill for 15 minutes on high or prepare a hot charcoal fire. Skewer the chicken cubes so they touch each other but do not press against each other. If possible, use a skewer rack so the chicken grills without touching the grilling grate. Grill until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently. Serve hot.
  • Grind the peppercorns and allspice together and blend with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Store in a jar in your spice rack, away from sunlight. It will lose pungency as time goes by, but, properly stored, it will be good for many months.

GRILLED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH LEMON, THYME, AND ROSEMARY



Grilled Chicken Kebabs With Lemon, Thyme, and Rosemary image

Vegetables take longer than the chicken to cook, so thread them on separate skewers, serving one of each per person.Use flat or square skewers so the food doesn't twirl around on them. If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak in water at least one hour before using. Handle hot metal skewers with tongs or protected hands. From "Diabetes Cooking for Everyone", by Carol Gelles. Exchanges: 3 3/4 very lean meat, 3/4 vegetable, 3/4 fat.
