Chicken Kabob

Lebanese Garlic Paste

Method

Chicken Kabob Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Soak Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  4. 4

    Skewer Chicken

    Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Kabobs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Lebanese Garlic Paste Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Garlic Paste

    In a food processor, combine garlic cloves and salt. Process until the garlic is finely minced. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice until a smooth paste forms.
