Marinated Chicken

Basmati Rice

Method

Marinated Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Chicken

    After marinating, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Basmati Rice Preparation

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  3. 6

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  4. 7

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Grilling the Kebabs

  1. 8

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 9

    Grill the Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the chicken kebabs alongside the basmati rice on a plate.
