Grilled Kefir-Marinated Chicken Kebabs

Chicken kebabs marinated in kefir — tender, fragrant, and delicious! Kebabs are perfect with or without vegetables, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. Good meat is the foundation of a great kebab, so use only fresh chicken, never frozen. You don't need an open fire or a grill either — you can cook these in a skillet or even a slow cooker. And it doesn't have to be breast; any part of the chicken turns out great. Just keep an eye on the fire — the flames should never touch the meat! (Kefir is a tangy cultured milk drink, similar to thin, drinkable yogurt.)

  • The chicken needs to marinate before it goes on the grill, so start with the marinade. Kefir is ideal here, so measure out the amount you need (about 1 1/2 cups). To give the meat more than just the tenderness a kefir marinade always delivers, stir in whatever spices you like best. Salt only to taste — and keep in mind the meat itself won't be salted during marinating, or it would turn out tough. Once the marinade is ready, cut the chicken into pieces sized to thread easily onto a skewer. Slice the onion into wide rings (wide enough that they won't stick out past the meat as it cooks), and slice a firm, small tomato into rings too (optional!). Now you can get your coals going, since the onion and chicken go into the marinade. It'll take about 25–35 minutes for the meat to soak up the flavors, which is usually just enough time for good coals to form. When they're ready, thread the meat onto skewers, alternating with onion and tomato. Set them over the coals and watch closely so they don't scorch. Remember, chicken kebabs cook fast — pull them off the grill as soon as the juices run clear.
