Baked Chicken Kebab Skewers

serving Baked Chicken Kebab Skewers

These allergy friendly baked chicken kebab skewers are also called Espetada Chicken. Estepada is a Portuguese term for food that is cooked on a skewer. It can be meat, fish or even chicken. Espetada Chicken is also a famous Nando's recipe, where the chicken is skewered along with vegetables.

Here I have recreated this recipe, of course with little tweaks to make it according to our diet requirements.

Marinate the meat with all the ingredients then thread on to a skewer and grill or bake as you wish. I did not have capsicum so I just used onions and tomatoes but feel free to use any veggies you like.

These kebabs are usually served with rice but I like to switch things up, so I served with fries. Wedges or dairy free baked potatoes can be healthier options for a side.
