Chicken Kebab Salad Recipes

SPICED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH CHOPPED SALAD & FLATBREADS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine half the yogurt with the spices, half the garlic, the lemon zest and ½ tsp salt. Tip in the chicken and stir well to coat. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins or overnight.
• Mix the grated cucumber and the remaining garlic into the remaining yogurt, then season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge.
• Mix the finely chopped cucumber and lettuce together, then squeeze over one of the lemon halves and season with a good pinch of salt. Cut the remaining lemon half into quarters. Heat the grill to high or a large griddle pan over a high heat.
• Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers, put on a tray and cook under a hot grill or in the griddle pan for 10-12 mins, turning often to ensure it cooks evenly and is charred in places. Warm the flatbreads under the grill or in a toaster.
• Serve the chicken in the flatbreads with the chopped salad and cucumber yogurt. Drizzle with hot sauce before serving, if you like.

CHICKEN TIKKA KEBABS WITH INDIAN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt with the curry paste in a large bowl. Add the chicken, season, then stir really well. Cover and leave for 30 minutes at room temperature to give the spices time to flavour the chicken (or make ahead and chill for several hours or overnight).
• Make the salad before you start to cook the kebabs. Simply mix together the cucumber, tomatoes, chilli, onion and coriander. Season lightly, then cover until you're ready to serve with the meal.
• Preheat the grill or barbecue. Push the chicken onto 8 metal or wooden skewers. Grill or barbecue the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning them frequently. At the same time, warm the tortillas or chapatis on one side of the barbecue, wrapping them in foil. Serve two kebabs per person, with two tortillas or chapatis and plenty of salad.

CHICKEN KABOB SALAD

Steps:

• For the kebabs:
• Slice chicken thinly.
• Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch rounds.
• Cut the sausage links up into chunks,(half them) alternating cuts at 45 degree angles for nice triangular shapes.
• Take the skewers 2 at a time and begin threading the components alternately.
• Start with a piece of bread, chicken, bay leaf, sausage, and bread; repeat this 3 times to fill the skewers, ending with bread.
• I put these back in the refrigerator for 1 hour and continued as follows.
• Lay the prepared kabobs out on your board and drizzle liberally with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Squeeze the lemon juice all over and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place the prepared kabobs onto preheated grill and cook for about 7 to 10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
• While kabobs are roasting you can prepare the salad.
• In a blender combine the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, egg yolks and grated Parmesan. Pulse a couple of times to combine, then add the water and blend again. With the motor running, gradually pour the oil through the feed tube and continue to blend until emulsified. Season, to taste, with salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• In a large mixing bowl add the chopped romaine.
• When the kabobs are done, remove from the gill and slide the kabob components off the skewers directly into the bowl. Add some dressing and gently toss to combine.
• To plate, garnish with parsley leaves, shaved Parmesan and fresh lemon wedges.
