Method

For the Chicken Kabobs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the chicken marinates.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Kabobs

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kabobs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

For the Rice

  1. 6

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 7

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 8

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

For the Salad

  1. 9

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the cucumber and tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.

  2. 10

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 11

    Combine the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and drizzle with the dressing. Toss well to coat.
