Morroccan Chicken skewers

This is a recipe that originally used beef but as I had a about a kilo of really good quality chicken breast I decided to use it instead. This is easy and cheap to do and I cooked it in my oven! It made 5 delicious skewers! I am planning to try this with beef as well. It t would be best on the grill but as I don´t have one and I live in a flat, I used my trusty little oven set at 250.

Ingredients

• 1 ¹⁄₂-2 lbs chicken breast, less than 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• ^2/3 cup olive oil
•  ^1 cup  small onion, grated
• 2  tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• ¹ teaspoon salt
• ¹  teaspoon cumin
• ¹ teaspoon paprika
• ¹ teaspoon black pepper
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1. Place the chicken cubes in a medium bowl. Add the parsley and set aside.
2. Pour the olive oil in a small glass bowl. Add the spices, vinegar & tomato paste, stir until well blended. Grate the onion & add it to the oil mixture.
3. Stir in half the mixture in with the chicken until it is well coated. Cover with a lid & place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.
4. Place the chicken on metal skewers, leaving a little gap between each piece. Brush the other half of the oil mixture on the chicken. Place on a baking pan that has been covered in foil. Grill on each side until the chicken is no longer pink inside, between 10-15 minutes. I left mine in the oven for about 20 minutes.
