Mediterranean Chicken Kebabs

Here comes back our friday fever... and we are making chicken today  But hey!! with this heat on , too many spices get unbearable , especially for someone like me , who gets drenched in sweat even with an A/c on. And spice makes you sweat!!! So i had to make these kebabs that are low in spice quotient but quiet high on Tang!!!

And for all those who still feel that kebabs imply a red hot  chicken tikka, heres a refresher.

Ingredients:

150 gms boneless chicken cubes

10 cloves of garlic

1 inch pc ginger

1 spring onion along with the greens chopped

zeast of 1 orange

1/4 cup orange juice

2-3 tsp honey

Namak Shamak

2 tsp fresh ground black pepper powder

8-10 cherry tomatoes

1 small diced capsicum

1 small diced onion

4-5 wooden skewers

1 tsp Olive oil + for grilling

Coriander leaves and olives  for garnish

Method:

Grind the ginger garlic and spring onions to  a fine paste (can add a small green chilly for some spice)

Rub the paste to the chicken. Add olive oil,orange juice , zeast, balsamic vinegar,salt,honey and pepper and keep the chicken to marinate for atleast and hour.

String the chicken alternately with the cherry tomatoes , onions and capsicum on the wodden skewers and grill it on a medium hot pan. Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade while grilling.
