Best Napa Grilled Chicken Kebabs Recipes
CHICKEN KEBABS
Steps:
- Mix the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, oregano, coriander, paprika, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until fully blended. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers, about 5 pieces per skewer, taking care not to pack the chicken pieces too tightly.
- Grill the skewers until the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN KEBABS
Let's face it, boneless, skinless chicken breast can sometimes be bland. These skewers get a major flavor boost from wrapping the chicken in thin slices of prosciutto.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Toss the chicken with the olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt in a large bowl. Place a cheese cube on a piece of chicken and wrap tightly with a slice of prosciutto. Repeat with the remaining cheese, chicken and prosciutto.
- Thread the chicken bundles onto eight 10-inch skewers along with the tomatoes. Grill the kebabs, covered, turning occasionally, until the prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
GRILLED CHICKEN KEBABS
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.

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.

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.
