Curried Chicken Kabobs Food

SPICED BEEF AND CHICKEN KABOBS WITH CUCUMBER YOGURT

Steps:

• For the yogurt sauce: Stir together the yogurt, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Add salt to taste. Refrigerate while the meat marinates. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
• For the kabobs: Mix the yogurt, cilantro, coriander, cumin, turmeric, allspice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the beef and chicken (you can separate them into 2 bowls if you prefer) and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Toss the peppers and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
• Thread the chicken and beef onto separate skewers (about 5 pieces of meat per skewer), threading a piece of onion between each piece of meat--for even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skewers. Use 2 skewers to thread the peppers, to make them easier to turn. (Make 4 double skewers with 3 peppers each.)
• Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on the outside and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes for the beef (medium-rare), 10 to 12 minutes for the chicken, and about 12 minutes for the vegetables.
• Serve the kabobs with lemon wedges and the yogurt sauce on the side.

CURRIED CHICKEN KABOBS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Thread chicken onto 8 skewers; place in shallow dish. Mix dressing and curry powder until blended; pour half over skewers, turning skewers to coat. Refrigerate 10 min.
• Meanwhile, prepare rice as directed on package, omitting salt and adding remaining dressing mixture to rice before cooking. Stir in peas and raisins; keep warm.
• Remove kabobs from marinade; discard marinade. Grill kabobs 8 to 10 min. or until chicken is done, turning occasionally. Serve with rice.

GRILLED THAI CURRY CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH COCONUT-PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. Cut the breasts into 1½" pieces and set aside.
• Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, lime zest, vegetable oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cardamom and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix until chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Make the sauce by whisking together the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce and red curry paste in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add the fresh lime juice. Set aside.
• Preheat the grill to high heat. Meanwhile, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Grease the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken skewers with the Coconut-Peanut Sauce and lime wedges, if desired.

GRILLED CURRY CHICKEN KEBABS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, minced garlic, curry powder, fish sauce, chili flakes, minced shallot, and kosher salt. Stir until everything is combined and add the chicken. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
• When you're ready to cook, thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers.
• Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
• Place skewers on the middle of the grill (between the hot and cool sections), cover, and cook until skewers are well browned on the first side, about 5 minutes. If skewers are browning too fast, shift them to the cooler side; if not browning fast enough, move them closer to the hotter side. Flip the skewers and cook until the second side is browned and the thickest piece of chicken registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving platter, let rest for 2 minutes, and serve.

CURRY CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the chicken and all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto the wooden skewers.
• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Put the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skewers to a serving platter and serve with white rice.

RED CURRY CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Fire up the barbecue or heat a griddle pan to high. Tip chicken, curry paste and coconut milk into a bowl, then mix well until the chicken is evenly coated. Thread vegetables and chicken onto skewers. Cook the skewers on the barbecue or griddle for 5-8 mins, turning every so often, until the chicken is cooked through and charred. Serve with herby rice, salad and a lime half to squeeze over.

COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut chicken into flat 2-x-2-inch pieces. (You should have about 24 pieces.) Mix 1 tablespoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne. Use mixture to season chicken lightly on both sides.
• To skewer, lay meat flat on cutting board. Thread meat onto two skewers spaced equidistant from center; do this first with one skewer, then the other. Put three pieces of chicken onto each set of skewers, for eight brochettes total.
• In a blender, put 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, garam masala, lime zest and juice, coconut milk, ginger and grated coconut. Blend to obtain a smooth sauce. Transfer to a bowl.
• Put oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them pop (this only takes a few seconds). Pour oil and seeds into the coconut curry mixture and stir.
• Lay brochettes on a tray in one layer. Spoon 8 tablespoons curry mixture over chicken and spread to cover evenly on both sides. (Save remaining sauce.) Leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate several hours, then bring to room temperature.
• Grill over medium-hot fire for about 3 minutes per side (longer if using thighs), until meat feels firm when poked with a finger. Serve with reserved sauce.
