Method

  • OK, I know the ingredients list is long, but it is soooo worth it!
  • Please use all fresh ingredients vs bottled or canned it does make a difference!
  • First, heat a skillet to med-high heat and toast 1st three ingredients until they are fragrant (around 1 minute).
  • Place toasted spices, brown sugar (I use Splenda brown sugar and you cant tell the difference, I swear) and next 10 ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Place spice mixture and chicken in a gallon Ziploc bag.
  • Marinate in fridge for 2 hrs (turn bag and squish at least once).
  • Pour chicken and marinade into a large bowl for easier access.
  • Alternate chicken and last 5 ingredients onto 12 inch skewers.
  • (I prefer metal.
  • If you use wooden, you MUST soak them in water or coconut rum for at least 20 minutes before threading on the goods or the chicken will be dry.)
  • Brush with reserved marinade.
  • Cook 8-10 minutes on George Foreman grill or until chicken is done; may take less time on real grill.
  • Makes 6 servings of 2 kebabs each or 12 servings of 1 kebab each.
  • The more veggies, the more kebabs.
  • Serve with black beans and steamed rice.
  • *It is important to cut kebab ingredients into same-sized pieces so that everything cooks in the same time frame.
