So I'm sure you are something like me and you read cookbooks or blogs and see recipes and think "WOW - I need to try making that" but then you forget and whatever. Well, when I saw the recipe for chicken kebabs on Feel Good Eating I knew I wanted to try it as soon as I could get access to a grill. The thing is, I love chicken kebabs but when I try to make them they always come out kind of dry and tasteless. When I saw Marc's recipe I noticed he wrote the word "secret" a few times, which caught my eye. Perhaps finally I would discover what was missing when I made them!?
I never heard of putting olive oil on the skewers before putting the meat on. Hmm....
I used smoked paprika instead of regular and I added fresh oregano with the mint. I also used both breasts and thighs. I didn't have time to marinate for 6-8 hrs so I only did 2. To go along with the chicken I grilled zucchini and red peppers with a bit of salt and fresh rosemary.
Dude- these kababs were EXCELLENT. Dare I say it, the breast was better than the thighs? SO good. Thanks Marc! I made a ton so I will be eating them for lunch for a few days now. I think now I will start making an effort to actually make the recipes I read on the blogs instead of just drooling over the photos. Stay tuned, I'm making something from Caveman Food next!
Yay! I hope you all have a happy Monday!
YAY, they came out good!!

Thanks for the recipe and secrets, Marc!!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that my moving helper also loved them and kept saying how juicy they were.
They were just as good for lunch today too.
