Summer is a time when we often cook on the grill. But sometimes you want to cook something light and not too high in calories. This time, I decided to make kebabs from chicken breast.
Do not rush to claim that it will be a dry and tasteless dish. You are wrong – the breast turns out to be very juicy and tasty. Once you had the chance to taste an improperly prepared chicken kebab and now you consider it a tasteless dish.
In order to prepare kebabs from fillet, you need to take a few simple steps. Let me show you.
I share the cooking recipe:
First, the fillet must be cut into pieces, while it is important not to make them too thin, so that the meat does not dry out during the frying process.
You can cook kebabs from only one meat, but I decided to add mushrooms. I had small ones, I sent them to a bowl without cutting them.
For taste and aroma, I added sweet bell pepper cut into pieces.
Then the meat should be marinated in spices and oil – this will give the dish a rich taste and aroma. You can use the marinade to your taste. I do not advise adding vinegar, it will make the meat dry.
Marinade:
- Sunflower oil – 1 tbsp.
- Spices for chicken – 1 tsp.
- Salt to taste
- Pepper – 1/2 tsp.
Next, you need to put the meat on skewers, I used wooden skewers.
When frying breast shish kebabs, it is important to monitor the temperature of the grill or barbecue. Do not keep the meat on the coals for too long so that it does not dry out.
In order for the fillet to be juicy and tender, it is enough to fry it until golden brown on both sides, while periodically turning the meat over.
Before serving the kebabs on the table, let them rest a little, literally 2 minutes under the lid, so that the meat soaks in its juices.
You can also serve kebabs with various sauces and salads – this will add additional taste and aroma to the dish. Ready-made chicken kebabs will be a wonderful light and tasty dish for your summer meal.
Ingredients:
- Chicken breast fillet – 700-800 g
