Chicken kebabs are marinaded with lemon, cumin and mint for a refreshing summer dish with a Middle Eastern flavour.

 

The marinade of lemon, cumin and mint are a different choice but it gives the chicken kebabs a warm and light flavour. The cumin spices give the warm, the lemon and mint a refreshing taste.

Chicken Choices

Although I used chicken breast cut into chunks for this recipe, you could happily use the lemon, cumin and mint marinade on chicken wings or drumsticks. If you are using a cut of chicken with a bone, score the chicken with a sharp knife before adding the marinade to help the flavours develop.

Cumin Benefits

Cumin is a spice with a warm, earthy and nutty flavour. It's often used in curries and has a few health benefits.

  • Aids digestion and reduces the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome
  • Is a good source of iron
  • May help blood sugar control
  • Can aid inflamation

When you use cumin as a spice, it helps to increase your antioxidant intake, promotes digestion, provides iron, may improve blood sugar control and may reduce food-borne illnesses.
