Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Skewers
  • Large bowl
  • Small pot with lid

Method

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
  6. While the chicken is grilling, rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and transfer it to a small pot with a lid.
  7. Add the water and salt to the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with the lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
  9. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the grilled chicken skewers.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, to the rice before serving. You can also serve the chicken skewers with a side salad or grilled veggies.

Recipe Tips

To prevent the skewers from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grates or use non-stick cooking spray. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the chicken cubes to prevent them from burning. When grilling the chicken, be sure to cook it to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is fully cooked.
