Everyone loves a chicken kebab! Our kids love to pull the meat off the skewers and stuff them into pita bread.
The ready marinated kebabs you find at supermarket are soaked in sauces full of sugar and additives. But it’s so easy to make them yourself without the extra added junk.
Our Middle Eastern spiced chicken kebabs are incredibly tasty and easy to throw together. Try these family-friendly chicken skewers tonight for a protein-packed dinner.
