Chicken Kebab Recipe
Makes 4 skewers
Ingredients:
1 skinless and boneless chicken breast (about 12 oz.)
1/2 green bell pepper (cut into big cubes)
1/2 yellow bell pepper (cut into big cubes)
Marinade:
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 – 1 teaspoon paprika (if you like spicy, use 1 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seeds
1/4 of one small onion
2 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves (or dried parsley)
For Grilling:
2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
Method:
Cut the chicken into small cubes (a total of 16 pieces if you will), pat dry and marinate with the ingredients for 1 hour.
Thread four pieces of chicken meat with two pieces each of green bell pepper and yellow pepper (see the picture above for the order) onto a metal skewer or bamboo skewer. Repeat the same and make four skewers. Set aside.
Fire up your outdoor grill (or indoor grill) and grill the chicken kebab until cooked. While grilling, brush the chicken and bell peppers with olive oil. Serve hot.
Cook’s Note:
If you use bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water overnight so they don’t get burned during the grilling process.

This recipe is just perfect for me and my family… they are home for 4 days (long weekend here) and we’ll have a barbecue party… Simple and surely delicious. Thank you…
Any kind of grilling (bbq) is always a pleaser when I have friends or family over. Hope you and your family enjoyed this chicken kebab recipe :)
Mmm, the kebab looks absolutely delicious!
If using dried parsley, would it be same amount as the fresh ones? :P
Yes, it works the same. You can add more if you want. It doesn’t hurt. ;)
Really nice… I like those skewers.
Ciao.
The skewers look good for pictures and very practial and handy, too.
I love chicken kebabs too and i too make them with chciken than lamb, and this looks beautiful and so so yumm.
If i had chicken pieces here athome i would have made them right now.
Your kebabs look delicious! I’m a fan of a grilled meal on a stick too, and the cumin and paprika sound great for chicken.
I have been using a favourite kebab recipe of mine from Jen! I shall make this and hers when we have a bbq end of May!
A chicken kebab recipe competition. I like it! Let me know the winner :)
i like lamb kebab, the gamey flavour enhances the overall, carnivorous experience. :)
but chicken kebab’s easily found, in comparison.
Yes. The chicken versions of kebab are definitely for people who are not into the red meat gamey lamb flavor. Either way, cheers to kebabs! :)
Oh I’m loving the marinade! The paprika and cumin must add such a great smokey and earthy flavour to these kebabs. Lovely images :)
Thanks for sharing this!
It is one of my favorite marinade. Try it out :)
I love all kinds of kababs. I do like to try your paprika and cumin combination. Pictures looks so appetizing too!
Mmmmmm! I was just wondering what I was going to make for dinner tonight. No more wondering! Thanks so much for sharing! Some zucchini or eggplant might be good in there too.
:) Thanks for trying this kebab recipe. Hope you’ll enjoy this wonderful dinner.
Love this! I love threading pineapple along, as well :)
Oh, pineapples, yummy! But I am really bad at choosing the good pineapples, i.e. sweet and less acidic. Anyone care to share how to?
Bali pineapple is sweet. It is a species available in Malaysia even tho it’s name is “Bali”.
I love this website and especially this recipe. The picture looks awesome and I wish I could do nice photography as well.
I am Malaysian living abroad and constantly missing on those yummy Malaysian food.
This blog has helped me satisfy my cravings. Good work :)

chicken kabab recipe
OMG …..ALL YOUR RECIPES LOOKS AWESOME N UR REALLY GOOD IN PHOTOGRAPHY. WILL DEFINITELY TRY THIS ONE.IT LOOKS SO YUMMY…:-).THANKS FOR SHARING
how long it will take for it to cook?
Tried this on Monday, really good will cook again soon. Thanks :)
Amazing website1really impressed. I’m Persian and the most important thing in chicken kebob marinate is the saffron, I can’t have chicken kebob without it. and one very important thing overlooked in Persian kebobs is the skewer. You should use thick metal skewer that would make the kebob cook from the inside. that would make the chickens more juicy. your recipe looks great, but I personally would use 4 times more onion and would grate the onion. And I use 2 times more lime-juice but I don’t think non-persians would like it.
is there an alternative way of preparing the kebabs besides using the gril?
I baked them in the oven – for around 15 mins – at 250C. They turned out great :D
I made these the other day and they turned out great! Thanks for such a great share. Any suggestions of some dipping sauce to go with this please? Thanks a ton :)
excellent recipe….
nice and easy recipe…
Made these for dinner on a Foreman Grill–even on my little indoor grill, these were awesome. My daughter, who’s usually pretty apathetic about what’s being served for dinner exclaimed “this is so good!” Needless to say this recipe will be making frequent appearances in my culinary routine. Thanks for posting!
