Intro

These Aleppo Pepper Chicken Skewers are a juicy, savory, and smoky way to bring Middle Eastern flavors to your table. Aleppo pepper’s mild heat and sun-dried tomato flavor work perfectly in a citrusy marinade that tenderizes and seasons the chicken all the way through.

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Aleppo pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken In a bowl, combine olive oil, Aleppo pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Assemble the Skewers Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.

Grill the Chicken Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked.

Rest and Serve Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with couscous, garlic yogurt sauce, and grilled vegetables, or serve in pita wraps with pickles and tahini.
