About Chicken skewers

Chicken skewers are a versatile dish featuring marinated chicken pieces threaded onto skewers and grilled or baked. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, they often incorporate spices like paprika, cumin, garlic, and lemon juice, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic profile. Commonly served with salads, rice, or yogurt-based sauces, chicken skewers are high in protein, making them a filling and nutritious choice. When prepared with lean cuts of chicken and minimal added oils, they can be a healthy option. However, certain recipes may add sodium-heavy marinades or accompany the dish with calorie-dense sides, impacting overall nutritional value. Opting for fresh marinades and grilled preparation enhances their health benefits while keeping the dish light. Perfect for a quick meal or party platter, chicken skewers provide a simple yet delicious way to enjoy globally inspired flavors.
