Categories     Dinner

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast or thighs (cut into 1 inch cubes)
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons dried za'atar or oregano
1 clove crushed garlic
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
lemon wedges for serving
3/4 cup plain low fat plain Stonyfield yogurt
3/4 cup finely chopped cucumber (peeled and seeded)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
1/2 tablespoon fresh mint (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Mix lemon juice, olive oil, za'atar, garlic, salt, and pepper together. Put chicken in a zip-locked bag and pour marinade over it. Marinate the chicken at least 2-3 hours or as long as overnight.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes if grilling outdoors (I usually double them up so they are easier to turn).
  • Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
  • Thread chicken onto the skewers. You should have 4 kabobs total.
  • Preheat the grill over medium heat, oil the grates and cook (indoor or outdoor grill works fine) until the chicken is cooked though, turning often about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve with lemon wedges and yogurt sauce.

JERK CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE KEBABS



Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Kebabs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), roughly chopped
1 Scotch bonnet chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon freshly grated peeled ginger
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 11/4 pounds), cut into large cubes
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cubed
Kosher salt
6 grilled pita bread, for serving (1 pita per serving)

Steps:

  • Pulse the vinegar, rum, brown sugar, scallions, garlic, chile, Pickapeppa sauce, ginger, allspice, and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor to make a slightly chunky sauce. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until the oil is absorbed and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Cool.
  • Rub the jerk paste all over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium heat or prepare a grill. Thread the chicken, scallions, and pineapple alternately on skewers (if you use wooden ones, soak them in water for 15 minutes before threading them). Season with salt. (Leave a little space around the meat so the heat gets to all sides.) Grill, turning, until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
