30-Minute Chicken Seekh Kebabs (Sheet Pan)
Description
The recipe mixes ground chicken with finely diced onion, garlic and ginger pastes, green chili, coriander seeds, garam masala, cumin, Kashmiri red chili powder, chopped cilantro, kosher salt, and olive oil. This combination imparts distinct aromatic and warm flavors typical of seekh kebabs. Forming the mixture into a single sheet and then dividing into strips ensures even cooking and a consistent shape.
Baking at 400°F cooks the chicken through while a brief broil adds a charred texture on the surface, mimicking traditional grilled kebabs. The final garnishes and suggested mint chutney or yogurt provide a cool contrast to the spiced chicken, ideal as an appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ½ red onion medium, finely diced
- 2 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon green chili minced
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds coarsely ground
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the kebab mixture. Mix thoroughly using a silicone spatula until well incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Using a larger silicone spatula, spread it evenly to form an 8x8-inch square.
- Divide the square in half, then further divide each half lengthwise to create four strips. Gently push the mixture outward to create slight gaps between each kebab.
- Using the spatula, make horizontal indentations about ½ inch apart along each kebab strip. Smooth and even out the kebabs as needed. Lightly spray them with cooking oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the kebabs develop a golden-brown color with slightly charred edges.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, lemon wedges, and serve with mint chutney or yogurt.
