Method

Rice Preparation

Rinse and Cook Rice

In a large bowl, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Shish Kebabs Preparation

Marinate the Chicken

Cut the boneless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Prepare Skewers

While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Assemble Skewers

After marination, thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Grill the Kebabs

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Vegetable Salad Preparation

Mix the Salad

In a large bowl, combine diced cucumber, diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.

Serving

Plate the Dish

On a serving plate, place a generous scoop of the cooked rice, top it with the grilled shish kebabs, and serve the vegetable salad on the side. Enjoy your Shish Rice Plate!
