Moroccan Spiced Chicken Skewers

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for the best flavor).
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, make sure they are soaked to prevent burning.
  4. Once the grill is hot, thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces or alongside a fresh salad.

These Moroccan Spiced Chicken Skewers are sure to be a hit at your next cookout or family dinner. The spices add a delicious warmth and depth to the dish, making every bite a delightful experience. Enjoy!
