These chicken Kabobs are exploding/popping with flavour. I call them meat pops as they are just so good, that you want another. (Just like cake pops.)
low [FODMAP] Meat Flavour “Pops”
It's like a cake pop but for meatatarians
Servings: 4 people
Calories: 395kcal
Equipment
- skewers
Ingredients
Meat
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into two bite chunks about 5 cm cubes
Marinade
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp salt optional!
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 red pepper flakes Optional. Not all low FODAMP people can tolerate spice. Know your audience. Leave out if you don't know your audience
Optional:
- 2 whole red pepper cut to the same width of your meat nice pop of colour and you get your 'veg'.
Instructions
Optional
- If you are using wood/bamboo skewers, soak them in water up to 1 hour before cooking. This will insure they don't char while cooking.
Marinade
- Add all ingredients in the Marinade and mix thoroughly.
- Add your chunks of chicken to the marinade for 1-4 hours depending on what time you have. Can be left up to 12 hours in marinade, but I wouldn't suggest going much past that. I use a tupperware for this so I can stick it in the fridge, and shake it whenever I open the fridge. But you can just as easily use a ziplock bag to ensure max saturation of of the marinade.
- Skewer your meat.
Optional:
- If using red peppers, skewer them every 2 meat pops.
Cooking
- Get your grill hot, then turn it down. (~400-450 ish)
- Cook the meat turning every 3 mins to get all four sides cooked. (12 mins total cook time).
Pro tip
- Don't be afraid to move cooked skewers off the heat if they're done earlier than the rest. Rotate your skewers around and around the BBQ, to get the most even cook. (All BBQ's have hot spots). For the best skewers you've ever had, just watch them cook for 12 mins and they'll be amazing. It's worth the time to watch them. If you don't you may get an uneven cook.
