Chicken And Mozzarella Kebabs Food

DONER KEBAB RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix Marinade in a large bowl. Add chicken and mix to coat well.
• Cover and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours, 24 hours is ideal. If only 3 hours, add an extra 1/2 tsp salt.
• Preheat oven to 220C / 430F (standard) or 200C / 390F (fan / convection).
• Choose a pan of a size such that the skewers will stay propped up on the pan walls (see photos in post or video) and the chicken will be elevated off the base. Line with foil.
• Remove chicken from fridge. Divide the chicken into 2 piles.
• Take one piece of chicken, fold in half then thread onto two skewers (see video). Repeat and push the chicken snugly up against each other. Repeat with other skewer.
• Prop the 2 skewers on the edges of the baking pan. Drizzle surface with oil.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until the surface is golden with some charred bits (char is good!).
• Spoon the pan juices over the chicken. Then turn, drizzle with oil and bake for 20 minutes (or 25 - 30 minutes if you had large thighs). If you need / want more colour, switch to grill/broil for a few minutes on high - I don't do this.
• Baste again with pan juices and stand for 5 minutes.
• Carving: Stand the skewers upright or on an angle, and slice meat fairly thinly. Use to make Doner Kebabs or Kebab Plates.

CHICKEN AND MOZZARELLA KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into even sized cubes, about 1 inch. Put into a shallow dish with the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cover and chill for 3 - 4 hours.
• Drain the chicken cubes from the marinade. Cut the Mozzarella into cubes slightly smaller than the chicken.
• Thread the chicken and Mozzarella cubes alternately onto 4 kebab skewers.
• Dust with seasoned flour, dip into the beaten egg and coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
• Lower the threaded skewers into a pan of hot oil and deep fry for 5-6 minutes until crisp and golden; drain thoroughly on kitchen paper, and sprinkle with lemon rind.
• Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and sprigs of rosemary.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND MOZZARELLA PESTO SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl. Put the eggplant cubes in a separate bowl and add the peppers.
• Sprinkle the chicken with a third of the orange zest, and some oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Toss well.
• Sprinkle the vegetables with another third of the zest, and some oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Toss well.
• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Build skewers, alternating chicken cubes with vegetables. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are charred and tender, 2 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, place the mozzarella cubes in another bowl and sprinkle with the remainder of the zest, along with some oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Toss well.
• Thread the mozzarella cubes on the tops and bottoms of each of the skewers. Drizzle with pesto and serve immediately.

CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Mix the marinade ingredients with some seasoning. Add the chunks of chicken, mix well, cover and chill. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Soak 12 bamboo skewers in cold water - this will prevent them burning when cooking (or use metal skewers). Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers (discard any remaining marinade), alternating with pieces of pepper and onion. Brush the skewers lightly with oil and season.
• Heat the grill to high. Grill the kebabs for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until golden and lightly charred. The veg should be tender, and the chicken cooked through, so it easily slides off the skewers.
• Warm the flatbreads in a griddle pan or dry frying pan on a medium heat until golden and toasted. Serve with the kebabs, lettuce, chilli sauce, extra yogurt and squeeze over some lemon just before eating.

TOMATO, BASIL & MOZZARELLA CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, season both sides of the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
• While the chicken is in the oven, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a sauce pot and simmer, stirring occasionally.
• NOTE: It should take about 20 minutes for the mixture to reduce.
• Once the glaze has reached your desired thickness, remove it from the heat and set aside.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and top with slices of mozzarella and tomato.
• Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the tomatoes are slightly charred.
• While the chicken is broiling, you can chiffonade (cut into thin strips) the basil.
• Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken and top with basil.
• Enjoy!
