  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground chicken (or any ground meat)
  • 1.5 bell peppers, diced
  • 4 large shallots
  • 5 peeled garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Oil (for greasing the sheet pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare veggies: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, combine the shallots, garlic cloves, and diced bell peppers. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
  2. Squeeze out excess moisture: Transfer the processed vegetable mixture into a cheesecloth set over a bowl. Squeeze vigorously to remove as much water as possible, ensuring your kebabs won’t become soggy.
  3. Mix meat and seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, squeezed vegetables, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Prepare the sheet pan: Lightly oil a large sheet pan to prevent sticking. Evenly spread out the meat mixture on the pan, pressing it down firmly into one smooth, even layer.
  5. Score the kebabs: Using a spatula or knife, score the meat into long, narrow rows. Then, create small horizontal indentations along each row to mimic the appearance of traditional grilled kebabs.
  6. Bake and broil: Place the sheet pan on the top rack of your oven. Bake for 20 minutes until the meat is cooked through. Finish by broiling for a few minutes to brown and crisp the top surface.
  7. Separate and serve: Carefully separate the kebabs along the scored lines with a clean spatula once they have cooled slightly. Serve these delicious kebabs on pita bread with tzatziki, tomatoes, onions, or as a protein bowl with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • Removing excess moisture from the veggies is key to preventing a soggy texture.
  • You can substitute ground beef, lamb, or turkey for the ground chicken depending on your preference.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or herbs if desired.
  • Broiling at the end enhances the color and texture, simulating a grilled effect indoors.
  • These kebabs freeze well; store separated in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
