Tavuk Izgara Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and add them to the marinade. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Skewers

   While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, this step is not necessary.

3. 3

   Skewer the Chicken

   Once marinated, thread the chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of green pepper.

4. 4

   Cook the Rice

   In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

5. 5

   Grill the Chicken

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

6. 6

   Prepare the Salad

   In a bowl, toss the mixed greens with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and lemon juice to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the grilled chicken skewers with rice, lavash bread, and the green salad on the side.
