Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: Begin by taking a non-metallic bowl and combining the white wine, minced garlic, paprika, curry powder, honey, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, creating a fragrant marinade that will infuse your chicken with flavor.
-
-
Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed boneless chicken breasts to the bowl containing the marinade. Ensure that each piece of chicken is well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for several hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken, resulting in tender and tasty kebabs.
-
Prepare the Skewers: When you are ready to grill, take your marinated chicken out of the refrigerator. If you are using wooden skewers, ensure they have been pre-soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of onion, halved mushrooms, green pepper, and grape tomatoes. This not only adds vibrant color but also enhances the overall flavor of the kebabs.
-
Grill the Kebabs: Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill. Grill the kebabs for approximately 10 minutes, turning them frequently to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. The chicken should be cooked through and have nice grill marks when ready.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the kebabs are done, remove them from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor and freshness. Serve the Smokin’ Chicken Kebabs hot alongside steamed jasmine rice and a colorful assortment of fresh fruit, making for a beautifully balanced and delicious meal.
