Persian Chicken Skewers

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I had 4-5 chicken breasts (would have preferred thighs) used them in this recipe. First, they werepounded to 12/" thickness. Used our Lodge cast iron griddle and cooked them eachside about 6-7 minutes. Garnished with blooming chives but I would have preferred fresh cilantro but had none on hand. Substituted fresh turmeric for dried. Next time I'll be sure to have chicken thighs for this recipe as that is what we prefer. Served with leftover Recipe #248510, asparagus and crusty bread. Good!

Reviewed for Visiting Persian (Iran) June 2012 , Sorry but this didn’t work as well for us DH didn’t complain but he didn’t say he loved it and we grilled it on our new bbq, I didn’t like the flavour too much I guess I prefer cardamom in sweet dishes and chicken breast for skewers DD1 (4 years old) said she liked it used freshly ground cardamom, freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, chicken thigh and leg meat, plus mushrooms and white and purple onion on the skewers as well Made for Visiting Iran(Persia) in June 2012!%u200F
