This chicken was different from others you've seen here this summer. I'm glad I made this. I love North African flavors and this was spot on. However, working with cumin and turmeric is dirty business. I'd just gotten my nails done the day before, and after I skewered the chicken on the kebabs, I realized the spices had dyed the white parts of my nails to a green-yellow color. Fortunately it faded over about 24 hours and I don't think anyone noticed. Consider yourself warned.
Moroccan Grilled Chicken Kebabs
from Closet Cooking
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Mix together all of the ingredients except the chicken. Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable bag and add the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or overnight. Skewer the chicken and grill over medium-high heat until cooked, about 4-5 minutes a side.
