Chicken Shish Kebab

Ingredients:

1kg chicken thigh boneless & skinless ~ cut 1.5" cubes

Marinade

1 large yellow onion ~ pureed

4 cloves garlic ~ pureed

2 tbsp yogurt

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp black pepper

2 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp tomato paste

8 tbs olive oil

Garnish

Green pepper

Tomato ~ halves

Onion ~ quartered

Garlic

Directions/Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients except onion.
2. Put the onion puree in a strainer and sieve its juice into the mixture.  Onion juice will help to tenderize the chicken and enhance the flavor.
3. Mix the mixture evenly.  Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours.  If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 mins.
4. Before cooking, take out the marinade mixture from the fridge at least 45 mins ahead.  Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers.  Do not push the chicken too close together otherwise, it won't cook properly.  Nine pieces of chicken on each metal/wooden skewer (20cm/8" length).
5. Preheat the electric grill (abt 10 mins).  Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10mins each side.
6. In the last 5 mins of cooking, place the green peppers, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and tortilla/lavash bread on the grill. 
7. Serve it with wrap tortilla/lavash and garnishes.  Enjoy!
