Chicken skewers are a popular dish originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, though they’re enjoyed worldwide in various forms. Made by threading chunks of marinated chicken onto skewers and grilling or roasting, this dish is versatile and flavorful. The marinade often includes olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a blend of vibrant spices like paprika, cumin, or coriander. Chicken skewers are a healthy protein option, as chicken is naturally lean and rich in essential nutrients like B vitamins and selenium. Grilling the meat further reduces added fats, making it a heart-friendly choice when paired with fresh veggies on the skewer. However, the marinade and dipping sauces can add sodium or extra calories, so moderation is key. Served with wholesome sides like salads or whole grains, chicken skewers can be a delicious and balanced meal.
