Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons spanish paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground green cardamom
- salt
- pepper
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large cubes (1 1/2-inch or so in thickness)
- 15 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 lemons, juiced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tahini sauce recipe
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, thyme, nutmeg, cardamom, salt, and pepper to create the spice blend. Coat the chicken in the mixture.
- Whisk together minced garlic and lemon juice. Add sliced yellow onion to chicken, then pour the garlic mixture over it along with olive oil. Toss and let marinate for 2-4 hours, or at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare tahini sauce according to its recipe and store in the fridge. Thread marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers just before grilling.
- Preheat the grill or griddle to medium-high heat, lightly greasing it. Grill the kabobs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve the kabobs on warm pita bread, drizzled with tahini sauce.
Notes
Chicken can be marinated overnight for enhanced flavor.
For best results, allow the kabobs to come to room temperature before grilling.
