The Ghetto Gourmet’s Smoky Smothered Chicken Kebabs (That seals it. I’m making this for dinner.)

 Easy. Check. Lots of Flavor. Check. Kid-Friendly. Check. These chicken kebabs might just be one for the dinner rotation.

To make food kid-friendly, I like using skewers instead of utensils. Somehow, it gets even the pickiest child to eat their dinner. This chicken kebabs recipe is a go-to in my house because it’s picky-kid friendly, there’s little clean-up for mom, and it’s still gourmet enough for discerning tastes.

  • ¼ cup reduced sodium vegetable broth (I use Imagine brand)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once oil is hot, add onions and season with salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until browned.
  2. Add ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon cumin. Mix well and add vegetable broth. Cook over medium-low heat until onions are soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool.

  4. Sprinkle chicken skewers with remaining spices. Add to baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Pour onions over chicken and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Serve in a wrap with homemade or storebought hummus and lettuce. Enjoy

    Hi, I was looking into interesting and different recipes, and this title: The Ghetto Gourmet struck as very , very VERY odd.
    Why would anyone of us pick such a description?

    If I want to make the skewers myself instead of asking the butcher could I cut up boneless skinless thigh or leg for them?

    Another winner!
    I made these with cubed boneless chicken breasts on skewers.
    Came out delicious, soft and juicy, and looked fancier than the usual dinner. Thank you!
