So this recipe is a real find for all occasions. So, how to cook chicken skewers on skewers at home - a detailed description with step-by-step photos at your service!
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts weighing 0.2-0.3 kg each;
- 1 incomplete teaspoon of salt;
- 0.5 tsp dried Provençal herbs;
- 0.3 tsp pepper mixtures;
- 1 tsp vegetable oil;
- 1 tsp mustard beans;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- 1 tsp soy sauce.
How to cook chicken skewers in the oven:
Wash the chicken fillet, trim off the fat and membranes, if any.
We cut the chicken fillet into pieces, trying to make them rectangular or square in shape - with a side of 2-4 cm. Our task is to make sure that the pieces of fillet are then convenient to string on skewers and convenient to eat. To ensure that the kebab cooks evenly in the oven, make the pieces approximately the same size.
By the way, about skewers. Their role will be played by wooden skewers; they are now on sale in many stores. To prevent our skewers from charring in the oven, they must first be immersed in cold water for at least half an hour. After such a bath, nothing will happen to our skewers.
Place the kebabs in a container of a suitable size, add spices - salt, a mixture of peppers, Provençal herbs, oil, soy sauce, mustard and garlic, passed through a press.
Mix. And cover the container with cling film - the kebabs need to marinate for 50-60 minutes.
Pour a little water into the bottom of the baking dish (so that its height is approximately 1-2 cm). I just had some water left over that I soaked the wooden skewers in, so I used that. Thread pieces of chicken fillet onto skewers and place on the sides of the pan. It turns out to be a mini-barbecue: the kebabs do not touch the bottom of the pan, but hang in the air, like a real kebab.
And send the chicken skewers on skewers to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for 20-25 minutes. During this time they will brown and be completely cooked.
Bon appetit!
Shish kebab does not necessarily mean barbecue, coals and lamb. No, of course, I won’t argue that in nature, on an open fire, the meat turns out to be the most delicious, but... But what to do if there is no such opportunity - to have a barbecue? There is a solution - cook kebabs in the oven. Yes, yes, this is indeed quite possible, and the result will surprise you very much - in the best sense. A friend shared with me a recipe for chicken kebab on skewers in the oven: she once treated me to this yummy dish, and I really liked it.
The idea itself is simply magnificent: when served this way, the dish looks very impressive and appetizing. And the meat turns out very soft and tender, I think it’s all about a successful marinade: I cook chicken kebab on skewers in the oven with soy sauce, which is why it turns out so wonderful. The recipe for such kebabs is very simple and affordable, fast and convenient. I will be happy to share with you how to cook chicken kebab on skewers in the oven, I am sure you will also appreciate this dish.
Ingredients:
For 1 serving:
- 1 chicken breast (weighing approximately 200 g);
- 1 tsp soy sauce;
- 1 tsp vegetable oil;
- salt;
- pepper mixture.
How to cook chicken kebab on skewers in the oven:
Wash the chicken fillet and dry it with a paper towel. If there is fat or films on the breast, it is better to cut them off. Cut the fillet into cubes with a side of 2-3 cm.
Place the fillet in a deep container, add salt to taste, spices - you can use a mixture of peppers, like I did, or specially selected spices for chicken (they are sold in stores). Pour in soy sauce and vegetable oil and mix. And, wrapping it in cling film or covering it with a lid, leave the breast to marinate for 30-40 minutes.
At the same time, we need to worry about the skewers for our kebabs, these will be wooden skewers. The thing is that these same skewers can become charred if left in the oven for a long time, and to prevent this from happening, they must first be soaked in water. Any container of a suitable size is suitable for this; I usually use a baking dish, which will later be useful to me for preparing kebabs. Pour 2-3 cm of water into the mold and place the skewers. They need to stay in the water for about half an hour - this is when the chicken fillet will marinate.
After the allotted time has passed, string the fillet pieces onto skewers. From a fillet weighing 200 grams I got three kebabs. Place the kebabs on a baking dish so that the skewers rest on the sides. Thus, it turns out that our kebab “hangs”, and the meat does not touch the bottom of the form. You need to pour a little water into the mold itself; I left the one in which the skewers were soaked.
And put the kebabs in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Chicken fillet cooks very quickly, and after 20-25 minutes the kebabs can be removed from the oven.
That's it, ready! Bon appetit!
Wash and dry freshly chilled chicken fillet. You can also use frozen, only then you should first remove it from the freezer a few hours before cooking and defrost it. Cut the fillet into medium-sized cubes of equal size.
Now you need to prepare the marinade for the kebabs. To do this, mix soy sauce, chopped garlic, ground ginger and coriander, liquid honey, paprika and lemon zest in a glass bowl.
Place chicken fillet pieces into a glass bowl with marinade. Mix the fillet thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with cling film and place in the refrigerator. The chicken should marinate for at least five hours. It's even better if you leave it in the refrigerator for a day.
Take long skewers and soak them in cold water first. This is necessary so that the meat does not stick to them. Peel the onion and cut into rings. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating the breast with onion rings. Place the meat in a frying pan heated with vegetable oil and fry for fifteen minutes, turning regularly. You can also bake these kebabs in the oven, which will turn out just as delicious!
