How to Make Nif's Grilled Moroccan Chicken Skewers

  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the bag. Seal and massage the marinade into the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Prepare the dip (recipe to be added separately, or use your favorite store-bought Moroccan dip). Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  5. Garnish with the prepared dip and serve immediately with couscous, noodles, or rice.
