Grilled Moroccan Chicken Kebabs With Pickled Red Onions

March 12, 2019 by Tonja 2 Comments

This yogurt and spice marinated Moroccan grilled chicken is beyond delicious and so incredibly easy and fast!  If you’ve never had pickled red onions before you’ll be wondering why.  They add an amazing crunch and flavor and take only 5 minutes to put together.  It doesn’t get any easier or more delicious than this grilled chicken.  The hardest part is climbing over your snow bank to start the grill.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Kebabs:
  • 2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size chunks
  • 2 Tbls. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbls. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1 Tbls. fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 Tbls. fresh ginger, minced
  • kosher salt
  • For the Pickled onions:
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbls. granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup hot water
  • For Assembly:
  • 6 pitas
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • tzatziki sauce (Costco has a great store-bought tzatziki)

Instructions

  1. Slice the red onion into thin half moons. Add red onion to a bowl along with apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar, and hot water. Mix thoroughly and let them set for a half hour. Cover and store in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to three weeks.
  2. In a medium bowl or gallon size zip-loc bag, combine the chicken, olive oil, yogurt, paprika, coriander, turmeric, cumin, red pepper flakes, cilantro, garlic, ginger, and a large pinch of salt. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Set your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Take skewers and thread the chicken pieces on them.
  4. Grill the skewers until lightly charred and cooked through, turning them occasionally throughout cooking, about 12-15 minutes total.
  5. To assemble kebabs, spread tzatziki sauce over warmed pita. Add chicken, pickled onions, and feta cheese.
  6. Enjoy!
