Chicken And Prawn Kebabs Food

SESAME CHICKEN & PRAWN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice and sesame seeds. Divide between two bowls, then add the chicken pieces to one and the prawns to the other. Toss both mixtures well, then leave to marinate in the fridge for 15 mins.
• Cook the chicken in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 3 mins, then push to one side and add the prawns to the other side of the pan. Cook for 2 mins until the prawns are pink and the chicken is cooked through (use two separate pans if anyone you're cooking for has an allergy or is a pescatarian). Put the broccoli in a microwaveable bowl with a splash of water, then cover and cook on high for 5 mins.
• Thread half of the skewers with chicken and broccoli and the other half with prawns and broccoli.

STICKY CHICKEN & CHORIZO SKEWERS

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, thyme, paprika, garlic and 2 tbsp honey with plenty of black pepper. Pour ¾ of the marinade over the chicken and chorizo, reserving the rest to glaze the skewers later. Marinate for at least 2 hrs or overnight. Whisk the leftover 1 tbsp honey into the reserved marinade.
• To make the flatbreads, mix the flour, olive oil, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Add 700ml water and knead to a rough dough. Tip onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 mins until smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled bowl and cover. Leave to double in size, about 1 hr.
• Knock the dough back and divide into 16 small balls about 140g each. Roll each out on a floured work surface until a few millimetres thick and about 20cm wide. Heat a dry frying pan on a medium high heat and cook the dough for 3-4 mins until golden underneath and large bubbles start forming. Flip and cook for 1-2 mins more until lightly golden. You can keep the flatbreads warm in a low oven or on the barbecue, wrapped in foil.
• Thread the chicken, chorizo and peppers onto eight large or 16 small metal skewers. Season with salt. Light a barbecue, let the flames die down and the coals turn ashy white, or heat the grill to medium high. Grill the skewers for 8-10 mins, turning every few mins until the chicken is cooked through. Use the remaining marinade to glaze the meat when turning.
• With a fork, slide the meat and peppers off the skewers on to the flatbreads. Serve sides separately for guests to assemble their own kebabs.

DIJON SHRIMP AND CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix shrimp, chicken, peppers and zucchini in large bowl. Combine mustard, apple juice, soy sauce and garlic in small bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the mustard mixture; cover and refrigerate for later use. Pour remaining mustard mixture over chicken mixture. Cover. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to marinate.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp, chicken, pepper and zucchini alternately onto 12 (10-inch) skewers. Grill 8 to 10 min. or until shrimp and chicken are cooked through, brushing with marinade and turning occasionally. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Meanwhile, heat the reserved 1/3 cup mustard mixture in saucepan on medium heat until heated through. Arrange skewers on serving platter over couscous; drizzle with mustard mixture.

Whisk lemon juice, lemon peel, and garlic in medium bowl; slowly whisk in oil. Season marinade with salt and pepper. Pour marinade over skewers, dividing equally.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Arrange lettuces on large platter. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Grill shrimp until pink on outside and opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Remove kebabs from grill; place atop lettuce. Serve with Tomato-Avocado Salsa and Chipotle Aioli .

GRILLED SHRIMP AND CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Season marinade with salt and black pepper to taste. Makes about 1 ¼ cups. Set aside. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• On each skewer, thread 2 shrimp, 2 chicken cubes, 2 pineapple cubes, 2 zucchini slices, 2 bell pepper squares, 2 cherry tomatoes, and 2 red onion wedges in any pattern you like.
• Place skewers on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Pour a third of the glaze over the skewers. (Can be prepped one day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
• Coat grill grates with nonstick spray or vegetable oil and preheat grill over medium.
• Grill skewers 4 minutes on one side then flip. Baste with another third of the glaze, keeping the remaining glaze separate for when serving.
• Continue grilling skewers until shrimp are opaque in the center, and chicken is no longer pink, another 3-4 minutes. Let skewers rest a few minutes before serving.
• Arrange skewers on platter. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh herbs and lime wedges, if desired. Serve with remaining glaze. Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND PRAWN KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut chicken into large bitesize pieces.
• Peel and devein the prawns.
• Drain apricot halves and pineapple slices, reserving the juice.
• Cut the pineapple slices into 4.
• Thread the prepared chicken, prawns and fruit alternately onto metal skewers.
• Combine 1 cup reserved pineapple juice with grated ginger, olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Pour mixture over kebabs and marinate 30 minutes.
• Remove from marinade and barbecue over a hot flatplate for 5 minutes each side or until the chicken is tender and prawns have turned pink.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinade in a pan on the edge of the barbecue, thicken with combined cornflour and water, add the extra grated ginger and spring onions and allow to boil until the sauce thickens.
• Serve Chicken and Prawn kebabs immediately.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 of all ingredients for the marinade in small bowl. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over it. Marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
• Mix the other HALF of the ingredients in the same bowl pour into a ziplock bag with the vegetables. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.
• If you are using wood skewers, while the chicken and veggies are marinating, soak the skewers in water for about 15 minutes. You need to soak wooden skewers in water for about 20- 30 minutes to keep them from igniting right there on the grill. I have also noticed that it's much easier to slide out the meat and veggies on your plate if the skewers have been soaked before grilling.
• Thread the chicken and peppers and onions on the skewers. I usually place about 5-6 chicken pieces and a combo of peppers and onion in between.
• Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grates lightly with oil and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.
• You can also bake this Mediterranean chicken skewers in the oven if you want to. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place chicken skewers on roasting racks over two foil-lined baking sheets and bake for about 10-15 minutes, turn over once and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes on the other side, or until they are baked through.

THE BEST CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE KEBABS EVER!

Steps:

• Cut the chicken and sausage into thick pieces of roughly equal size and place in a large ziploc bag.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the remaining ingredients for the marinade. Pour the marinade into the ziploc bag with the meat, seal and distribute so all of the meat is covered with marinade. Let sit for a minimum of two hours or up to eight.
• When finished marinating, skewer the meat onto metal or wooden skewers, alternating two pieces of sausage, then two pieces of chicken.
• Grill for 20 minutes or until done, turning the kebabs once halfway during cooking.
• Serve on a platter, and take the meat off the skewers at the table. It makes a nice presentation.

QUICK-MARINATED SHRIMP KEBABS

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, and zest and season with salt and pepper.
• Alternately thread the shrimp, squash, onion, and zucchini onto the skewers, using 4 shrimp per skewer.
• Put the kebabs in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade over the top. Marinate the kebabs at room temperature, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Preheat an indoor grill pan or an outdoor grill. Grill the kebabs, turning and basting with the marinade occasionally, until lightly charred and just-cooked through, about 4 minutes.

WEST INDIAN GRILLED CHICKEN & SHRIMP KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1 inch (2.5 cm) cubes and place in large resealable plastic bag. Place shrimp in another bag. Set aside.
• Cut onion and sweet peppers into 1 inch (2.5 cm) chunks and add to a third large resealable plastic bag. Set aside.
• Make the marinade by adding the green onion, shallot, garlic, ginger, minced hot pepper (optional), cider vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, light tamari (or soy sauce), orange juice, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and freshly ground black pepper to the bowl of a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Let the food processor do the work - ingredients don't have to be chopped. Divide marinade evenly between the three bags. Seal each bag and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour and preferably overnight.
• Soak 16-20 wooden skewers in warm water for 20-30 minutes. Thread a piece of chicken onto a skewer followed by a piece of onion, shrimp and sweet pepper alternating in that order. Repeat. Place kabobs on platter as you make them. Pour any leftover marinade over kabobs.
• Heat grill to medium-high. Grill kabobs over medium-high heat until lightly browned, cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) - approximately 7-10 minutes per side. Baste along the way with any leftover marinade. Turn half-way through cooking.
