Embark on a culinary adventure with Jamie Oliver’s delectable chicken kebabs, a delightful departure from traditional burgers and sausages. These kebabs are not only a feast for the taste buds but also a breeze to prepare.
Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning while you gather the aromatic ingredients for the marinade. Grate garlic and ginger, then combine them with natural yogurt, passata, olive oil, garam masala, smoked paprika, and ground turmeric, creating a flavorful symphony.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and immerse them in the fragrant marinade. Allow them to soak up the flavors for at least two hours, or up to eight hours for maximum absorption.
Just before removing the chicken from its flavorful bath, halve and deseed a red pepper, cutting it into chunks similar in size to the chicken. Thread the marinated chicken and pepper chunks onto the soaked skewers, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Drizzle a touch of oil over the skewers to prevent sticking and enhance their golden glow. Grill the kebabs for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, diligently turning them every couple of minutes to achieve even cooking and a tantalizing golden hue.
Serve the succulent chicken kebabs on their own or accompany them with a fresh and vibrant salad, fluffy rice, or warm, pillowy flatbreads. This versatile dish is perfect for satisfying your cravings in all its flavorful glory.
Embrace the joy of grilling and savor the irresistible taste of these spice-infused chicken kebabs, a culinary masterpiece that will elevate your summer gatherings.
