CHICKEN RUB INGREDIENTS:

KABOB INGREDIENTS:

  1. 1 lb Chicken breast

  2. 2 yellow onions 

  3. 2 red onions 

  4. 2 yellow peppers

  5. 2 red peppers

  6. BBQ skewers 

  7. ⅓ cup of chopped parsley for garnish

  1. 1 tbs smoked paprika 

  2. 1 tsp ground cardamom

  3. Salt & Pepper (about 1 tsp each)

  4. 15 cloves of garlic minced

  5. Juice & zest from 3 lemons

  6. 1 tsp thyme

  7. 1 tsp nutmeg

 

PREP:

  1. Soaked skewers in water for at least 30 min before adding ingredients to the skewer. This will prevent skewers from catching on fire while grilling.

  2. Cut chicken cut into 1½ inch cube sized pieces. Let chicken marinate in the rub mixture for at least 2 hours (overnight is best) before grilling. 

  3. Peel onions and cut into wedges. It's easiest to cut the onion in half to start, before cutting into wedges, shoot for about 4-6 wedges per onion half.

  4. Cut peppers into 1-inch slices.

 


COOK:

  1. After your chicken has had time to rest, begin assembling your skewers. I typically start each skewer with a large chunk of onion or piece of chicken and alternate ingredients until the skewer is full. Repeat until you have used all ingredients. 

  2. I prefer to use a charcoal grill for additional flavor. Cook skewers until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165. While grilling, veggies will char and blacken, but don't worry, this will add extra flavor. If the veggies are getting blackened too quickly, move the skewers farther away from the heat source.
