How to Make Chicken Seekh Kebabs
Chicken seekh kebabs are a popular Indian dish and can be prepared using chicken mince or chicken fillets. They are quite easy to make and you don’t require any fancy ingredients or spices to prepare them. This mouth-watering recipe is sure to be relished by your family and friends alike!
Ingredients
2 pounds ground chicken breast, 1 teaspoon salt, 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, 3 teaspoons ground coriander, 2 teaspoons cumin powder, 1⁄4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon), 6 tablespoons plain yogurt.
Stir-fry method: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Divide into six equal portions and shape each portion into a flat patty about 4 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking; swirl to coat pan. Add patties; cook 5 minutes or until done, turning once halfway through cooking time.
Remove from pan; drain on paper towels if desired. Serve with sliced onions and lime wedges or with naan breads if desired. Oven method: Place patties on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil coated with nonstick spray; brush tops of patties lightly with vegetable oil or melted butter for easier handling later if desired. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes or until done, turning once halfway through cooking time. Remove from oven; drain on paper towels if desired.
Serve with sliced onions and lime wedges or with naan breads if desired. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to three days. To reheat, place frozen kebabs on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until heated through. Microwaving more than one kebab at a time may cause them to stick together during reheating; separate before serving if necessary.
This recipe yields six servings when using stir-fry method or four servings when using oven method. Each serving contains 330 calories, 17g total fat, 83mg cholesterol, 480mg sodium, 12g carbohydrate and 29g protein.
Author’s Note: My family is originally from Pakistan so I have many dishes that include both lamb and beef that are considered Pakistani cuisine by Americans. However I've found many people prefer poultry to red meat so I've modified some of my recipes accordingly.
Feel free to substitute lamb or beef as you wish depending on your preference! Note: You can also use chicken breasts instead of ground chicken breast if you like! Author’s Note: It's important to remember while stir-frying in a skillet, especially with chicken, is that it will release a lot of moisture and fat into your pan very quickly once it begins cooking.
To avoid splattering yourself with hot oil, make sure you don't fill your pan more than halfway full (if using a deep skillet) and try not to move or shake your pan around too much until you've got things well under control.
Also be sure to keep an eye on things so they don't burn or stick; stir regularly but not constantly. If you're making these kebabs for guests, consider placing them all on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil coated with nonstick spray and then transferring them to individual plates at serving time. This way, everyone gets their own kebab without having to handle raw meat directly which helps reduce any messes (and possibly cross contamination).
Author’s Note: If you're planning on making these kebabs ahead of time, just place them all on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil coated with nonstick spray and then transfer them to individual plates at serving time.

Note: If you'd like to serve these kebabs over rice, simply add 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice along with 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to a saucepan over high heat. Bring mixture to boil; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat; fluff with fork before serving. This recipe yields six servings when using stir-fry method or four servings when using oven method.

Preparation
Prepare marinade by mixing all ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken breast pieces and toss them well with your hands so that each piece is well coated with marinade. Marinate chicken for 4 hours or more, depending on how much time you have at hand. Bring out from refrigerator half an hour before cooking so that it reaches room temperature.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place kebab skewers on lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Serve hot as appetizer or snack accompanied with mint chutney, tamarind sauce or ketchup (optional). For making kebabs gluten-free, replace wheat flour with cornstarch. This recipe yields 5 servings of seekh kebabs. Enjoy!

3-step Writing Process (For Non-Profit or Advocacy Posts) Step 1: Outline In our initial outline, we map out each section of our post with a brief description of what will be included in that section.
These sections include things like Introduction, Body, Conclusion, etc. We'll usually include 3-5 sections in our outline, although it varies depending on what we're writing about. At first glance, it might seem unnecessary to spend time outlining before you start writing your post—but don't skip it! It's much easier to plan out your content before you start writing than it is to try and rearrange everything once you've already started writing a piece.
If you need help getting started, use our free checklist to get organized. We recommend adding any relevant research links at this stage as well. Step 2: Write Once we have an outline ready, it's time to actually write! Our goal at Charity Miles is always to make sure that all of our writers are able to complete their post within 2 hours; however, since everyone has different skill levels and experience, we understand that not everyone can hit that mark on every single post they write.
If you find yourself running into trouble after two hours have passed without having completed your draft, no worries—just send us an email letting us know where you are in your process so we can help keep you accountable! Be sure to take breaks throughout your writing session so you don't burn out.
Step 3: Edit Once you've finished writing, it's time to edit! We recommend taking at least 30 minutes editing your work before sending it over to us—even though most of our editors are happy to review drafts that aren't fully edited, doing a quick read through beforehand makes sure there aren't any major mistakes hiding in plain sight.
Use these 30 minutes wisely and comb through your work for spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, flow issues, consistency problems...you name it! Proofreading isn’t just about checking whether something makes sense or not; we also want our writers’ posts to look polished and well-written from top to bottom.
4-step Editing Process To ensure the highest quality, we use a 4-part editing process. Each editor goes through the following steps to proofread your post: A visual scan – this is the first thing we do when we open up your document. It helps us spot obvious typos, punctuation errors, and other small mistakes right off the bat.
A light edit – next, we skim through your document to correct any glaringly obvious mistakes. Some examples of edits we would make during this step include fixing spelling errors, correcting run-on sentences, fixing tense shifts, etc. A detailed edit – in this step, we go back over your document line by line to check for grammar issues such as subject verb agreement or misplaced modifiers.
We also use this time to double-check our changes to make sure we didn't accidentally introduce any new mistakes. A final edit – in the final edit, we recheck our document for anything that may have been missed in the previous three steps. After we've gone through this fourth and final round of edits, your post is ready to publish!
Step 4: Publish Finally, it's time to publish your post! We recommend scheduling a day or two before you publish so you don't rush the editing process. If you're feeling extra confident about your writing skills, feel free to schedule a few days or even weeks ahead of time—but only if you're 100% sure your post is perfect!
