A common Turkish kebab-style chicken meal, simplified for the oven or grill pan.

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 600 g boneless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 bell pepper, chunked
  • 1 onion, chunked
  • 3 cups cooked rice

Let’s make it

  1. Mix yogurt, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, salt, paprika, and cumin, then coat the chicken and rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Thread chicken, pepper, and onion onto skewers or arrange on a tray.
  3. Grill or bake at 220 C / 425 F for 18 to 20 minutes until the chicken reaches 74 C / 165 F.
  4. Serve with cooked rice.
  5. Let the meat rest 3 minutes before serving.

For kids, use the same marinade but bake the chicken on a tray so the pieces are easy to eat.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
