Chicken skewers with hummus is a delicious and healthy meal perfect for a family dinner or a weekend BBQ. This easy-to-follow recipe combines flavorful marinated chicken with the creamy goodness of hummus, making it a wholesome dish that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If you are using an outdoor grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Alternatively, if you are using an indoor grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat on your stovetop.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and dried oregano.
- Add the chicken breast pieces to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the chicken is marinating, cut the red onions into wedges, ensuring they are a suitable size for skewering.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces and red onion wedges alternately onto the skewers.
- Lightly spray the grill or grill pan with a short spray of cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the grill.
- Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the skewers hot with a side of hummus.
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the chicken breasts and red onions into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the grill or pan to a medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the chicken skewers.
- Brush the skewers with olive oil just before grilling to achieve a golden-brown crust.
- Serve the chicken skewers on top of a generous portion of hummus for a delightful combination of flavors.
