Chicken Kebabs
(Update: I've closed comments on this entry because some jerk keeps
spamming it with stupid spam links. Just this entry. Go figure.)
So the other night I made chicken kebabs for dinner, and EVERYONE loved them. It was the same old stuff, but a new marinade, which turned out to be a hit. Here's how I did it:
Take a larage boneless double chicken breast (i.e. the breasts from one chicken), remove the skin, and cut into more-or-less bite size cubes. Put into a bowl with about 1/2 a cup of tamari (we use all-soy organic tamari because regular soy sauce has wheat, and we have celiacs in the household), a tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and (this is the key) a half-teaspoon of whole cumin seeds. Stir and let marinate while you prepare the rest of the meal.
I made a salad of a carrot sliced fine and half a head of red cabbage shredded, with half a bottle of commercial garlic ranch dressing.
I also cubed up a red bell pepper and an onion, and made a pot of rice.
When the rice was almost done, I turned on the broiler and threaded the chicken, onion and bell pepper onto skewers and put them under the broiler, then turned on a TiVo'd episode of NCIS from the first season. At the commercials, I turned the skewers. After about 15 minutes it was done, so we served it forth.
The cumin came through very clearly, but subtly and delicious. My son even ate the leftovers cold and asked for more.
And Gibbs caught the terrorists in time.
