Healthy Chicken Kebab Recipe
A mixture of ground chicken and spices that are combined together and grilled, pan-roasted, or baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 tbsp fresh grated garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 2 tbsp fresh grated green chilis according to your spice tolerance (Thai, serrano, jalapeno, etc)
- ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped GREEN garlic (optional)
- 5 tbsp dried chopped onions (key ingredient and replacement for bread crumbs)
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 egg (optional)
- freshly grated turmeric (optional)
- salt
Directions
- If using, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes.
- Mix all of the kebab ingredients together and set them aside while you heat the oven and gather the cooking pans.
- Feel free to marinate for up to 2 days. I sometimes don't do this and it turns out just fine as well.
- Separate the mixture to make an even quantity for each shape you will be making. You can make patties, meatballs, or original long-shaped kebabs. Use the skewers if you choose to.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Put oil on your hands and form kebab shapes making sure each kebab is coated with a good amount of oil.
- Place each kebab on an oven roasting pan and cook for about 30 minutes.
- No flipping required, but the timing can vary depending on the size of the kebabs. It is best to cook until the center reaches 165 degrees.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and serve hot.
- SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve as an appetizer with cilantro chutney or for dinner with hot roti, tortilla, naan, or rice. An onion salad and lemon wedge compliment this dish well.
