Ingredients

  • β€’1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • β€’2 tbsp olive oil
  • β€’2 tsp ground cumin
  • β€’1 tsp ground coriander
  • β€’1 tsp paprika
  • β€’1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • β€’1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • β€’1 tsp salt
  • β€’1/2 tsp black pepper
  • β€’1 lemon, juiced
  • β€’1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • β€’1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • β€’1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • β€’Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • β€’Your choice of salad greens (e.g., lettuce, spinach)
  • β€’Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • β€’Cucumber, diced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, mix together olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.

  3. 3

    Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and stir to coat well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if time allows.

  4. 4

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables: thread the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning).

  5. 5

    Once marinated, assemble the kebabs by alternating chicken cubes and vegetable pieces on the skewers.

  6. 6

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165Β°F).

  7. 7

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  8. 8

    Serve the grilled chicken kebabs over a bed of salad greens, topped with cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Garnish with fresh parsley.
