Chicken skewers are a flavorful dish made by threading chunks of marinated chicken onto wooden or metal skewers and grilling, broiling, or baking until tender. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, they are often seasoned with a mix of spices like cumin, paprika, garlic, and parsley for bold and aromatic flavor. Common accompaniments include vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini, which are often cooked on the same skewer for added nutrition. Chicken skewers are a healthy choice as they are rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, depending on the marinade used. Grilling minimizes the need for added fats, making them a lower-calorie option compared to fried alternatives. However, sodium content might be high if heavily seasoned or marinated with store-bought mixes. Pairing them with fresh salads or whole grains boosts their nutritional balance for a wholesome meal.
