Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine lemon pepper seasoning, chopped jalapeños, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare skewers by soaking them in water if using wooden skewers.

  2. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken thighs onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

  3. 5

    Grill the Kabobs

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F).

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sides

    While the chicken is grilling, prepare the tandoori naan, cooked rice, and mixed salad. You can warm the naan on the grill for the last few minutes of cooking.

  2. 7

    Serve the Dish

    Once the chicken kabobs are ready, serve them hot alongside the tandoori naan, rice, salad greens, and a generous serving of cilantro yogurt sauce.
