Here are 3 quick ways to prepare chicken kabobs and keep your diet interesting.
For the curry-spiced kabob, the ingredients you need are curry powder, coriander, cumin, onion powder, and lemon juice. The recipe is as simple as it is delicious. Cut the chicken into pieces, season with the previously mentioned ingredients, and assemble the kebab.
Bake the kebabs in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes at 405F. Instead of an oven, you can also prepare kebabs on the grill.
Allow to cool slightly before serving and enjoy your meal.
Another idea is smoky sriracha kabob. For this recipe, you will need sriracha, sesame oil, paprika, cumin, and sesame seeds.
Season the chicken with all the ingredients except the sesame. Assemble kebabs and bake in the same way as in the previous recipe. When the kebabs are cooked, sprinkle with sesame seeds and leave them to cool before eating.
The last one, and my favorite recipe is pineapple mustard kabob. Here we will use honey mustard, red pepper, garlic paste, and white balsamic vinegar to season the chicken. Season the chicken and assemble the kebab. Assemble the kabobs with a repeating pattern of chicken, pineapple chunks, and bell peppers. Bake in the oven or grill, as in the previous example.
Along with these kebabs, you can also serve carbs, such as rice, brown rice, potatoes, quinoa, pita bread, some low-fat dressing, or some fresh salad, grilled or fresh vegetables. There are many different options, so you can tailor this dish to your desired lunch or dinner, and stick to your diet plan.
