Ingredients
Adjust Servings
| Chicken breast(s) — Every skewer holds about 1 chicken breast, and usually you will need 1 to 2 skewers per person | |
| olive oil — Approximately half a cup (for 2-3 chicken breasts) | |
| salt — desired amount | |
| pepper — desired amount | |
| turmeric — half a teaspoon or slightly more than that | |
| chopped onion(s) – 1 large for 2-3 chicken breasts | |
| saffron (optional) – just a tad | |
| red pepper or chili pepper (optional) — if you want to make them spicy |
Directions
1.
Place chicken pieces onto the skewers and cook them on the grill. Rotate the skewers to make sure both sides are cooked evenly. Depending on how juicy you want the Joojeh to be you will need to adjust the grilling time (5 to 10 minutes). It does not take long for the Joojeh Kabab to be cooked and ready, but you want to avoid having too much of a flaming grill because your Joojeh will burn on the outside and not cook on the inside. With practice your timing will become better.
Serve with rice, sabzi khoordan (herbs such as mint, tarragon, etc.), or bread.
