Portuguese Grilled Chicken Kebabs Recipe
Friday, December 28, 2018
Looking to make something light and filling in this heat this is the meal for you.
You can also make mini versions for your child's lunch box,
this is great as a starter or if you're like my family it can be lunch.
I did use Aminas Portuguese Marinade and Sauce for this recipe,
but just in case you cannot get your hands on some,
you can use ány dry Portuguese rub
and if you cannot get that you can substitute it for
any peri-peri sauce you have around.

- MARINADE INGREDIENTS -
6 - 7 Pieces Chicken Fillet

1 1/2 tsp Robertson's Portuguese Spice
1 1/2 tsp Robertson's Portuguese Spice
1 Tbsp Red Chili Paste
1 tsp Fresh Ginger Paste
1 tsp Freshly Crushed Garlic
1/2 tsp Turmeric
2 tsp Red Chili Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper
1 tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Mayo
2 tsp Lemon Juice
If you cannot get your hand on Portuguese spice/marinade, you can make a quick version at home. Mix together; garlic powder, salt, sweet paprika, ground black pepper, cumin, peri peri spice or cayenne pepper. You can add extra lemon juice if you want the rub saucy.

- SAUCE INGREDIENTS -
1 Tbsp Butter
4 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Amina's Portuguese Marinade and Sauce
- METHOD -
- Cut up your chicken fillet into cubes or strips depending on how you prefer to skew the meat onto the skewers.
- Marinate your chicken pieces in the marinade ingredients.
- You can either grill on the stove, in the oven or even bbq/braai depending on what you prefer.
- If you're cooking your chicken skewers on the braai/bbq stand use the sauce to baste your chicken so it doesn't dry out as it cooks. If you're grilling the chicken skewers on the stove or oven, than 10 minutes before you serve heat up the sauce and pour over the kebab skewers.
- Garnish with fresh coriander, serve with yogurt chutney, potato chips and salad.

Yummy! This looks like a Nando's inspired dish! Can you recommend a substitute for if you live in an area where peri-peri seasoning is pretty sparse. Is there a spice combination I can use to mimic it? Thanks for the mouthwatering pics and recipe as always!
ReplyDeleteYou could use nando's sauces to change the recipe up a bit. Hmm I remember being told one day that if you mix garlic powder, pepper, cayenne pepper, dry crushed oregano and paprika it's close to the same thing.
DeleteThis looks so delicous to eat and easy to cook. Looking forward to making this, I have different types of rubb in my cupboards but will keep my eye out for a portuguese marinade, not had that before. thanks for the recipie
ReplyDeleteIt really was easy to make and so filling! If you can't get Portuguese marinade or spices, always feel free to substitute it with any rub you may get your hands on.
DeleteYummylicious, I think I stumbled upon grilled food goldmine�� its bbq season here in Qatar and I came across your blog at just the right time. Will be checking out the other recipes too in sha Allah.
ReplyDeleteHahah thank you and enjoy the bbqs! This is perfect on the bbq stand and I've shared quite a bit of recipes just for that season.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I hope you enjoy this recipe and I've shared quite a bit of chicken recipes as well.
DeleteYum. Awesome! Please give us a recipe for making the Portuguese spice rub at home as I want to try it out at our next bbq at the beach !
ReplyDeleteGarlic powder, salt, paprika, black pepper, cumin, peri peri spice or cayenne pepper. I sometimes forget that not everyone has access to Portuguese spices or sauces easily, so the spices I listed in the starting is a go-to recipe.
DeleteWow! This looks absolutely fantastic! The pictures are great too! Thanks for sharing ❣️
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :)
DeleteYum! This looks both healthy & delicious! I'm not sure I can find those rubs here tho, but will have a look!
