This chicken marinates in a blend of lemon juice, fresh grated ginger, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne for a flavorful dish that’s a perfect changeup for your weeknight dinner routine. These kebabs cook quickly under the broiler, making them easy to prepare year-round, but you can also grill them, if you like. We paired richly flavored chicken thighs with fresh zucchini and cherry tomatoes, but you can swap out the veggies on the kebabs. Try chunks of red and yellow bell pepper and red onion. Refrigerate any extra, unpeeled ginger, sealed tightly in a plastic bag, in the crisper drawer for up to three weeks.

Ingredients

Fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp

Fresh ginger

2 tsp, fresh, peeled and grated

Ground cumin

1½ tsp

Ground coriander

1 tsp

Ground cinnamon

¼ tsp

Cayenne pepper

⅛ tsp

Uncooked skinless boneless chicken thigh

1½ pound(s), cut into 2-inch pieces

Uncooked zucchini

2 small, cut into 12 (1 1⁄2-inch) pieces

Cherry tomatoes

8 medium

Table salt

½ tsp

Instructions

  1. Combine the lemon juice, ginger, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne in a zip-close plastic bag; add the chicken. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  2. Spray a broiler rack with olive oil nonstick spray; preheat the broiler. Alternately thread the chicken and vegetables onto 4 (8-inch) metal skewers; sprinkle both sides evenly with the salt and spray with olive oil nonstick spray. Broil the kebabs 4 inches from the heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and browned, 10–12 minutes. Yields 1 kebab per serving.
