Chicken breast shashlik with bacon on skewers in the oven. Chicken skewers Chicken skewers with bacon
Shish kebab does not need presentation: it is popular at any time of the year, prepared from any meat and in different ways: on the grill, in the oven, in a frying pan. Among kebabs, chicken is considered dietary and delicate, and if you have to choose what to make at home, then, of course, this is it.
It is ideal to bake chicken kebab in the oven on skewers - there are many recipes, one better than the other. And it’s not about the recipes, but about understanding the peculiarities of fried chicken meat. The fact is that it is considered a bit dry, so in order to get a juicy result, different parts of the chicken are used in different cases. The thighs are more suitable for the barbecue, the wings a little smaller. But the fillet is not suitable; it is better to bake it in the oven. But even in the oven, white poultry meat will turn out dry if you do not marinate it. Another way to keep the fillet tender and full of juices is to bake it and wrap it in bacon. In my opinion, bacon is the most delicious variation of chicken kebab.
Ingredients
- one chicken breast fillet
- sliced bacon – 200 g
- half a lemon
- honey – 1.5 tbsp. spoons
- mustard with grains - 1 tbsp. spoon
- soy sauce – 1 tbsp. spoon
And also wooden skewers.
Preparation
BONUS - large selection. Choose what you like best: grill, frying pan, oven? What sauce and side dish? You can also prepare assorted kebabs, when pieces of meat are interspersed with vegetables or fruits. You will find all this at the link.
Cut the prepared poultry into small pieces and sprinkle with a little salt; if desired, you can sprinkle with black pepper.
If you bought bacon in pieces, try to cut it into thin strips/slices. It is more convenient to use bacon when it is ready-cut. Wrap each piece of fillet in bacon. 
Place four pieces of fillet on each skewer; the wooden sticks do not need to be soaked or oiled. 
Place the kebabs on a baking sheet, which can be lined with foil if desired.
In a small bowl, combine mustard, honey, lemon juice and soy sauce. Stir well. Pour the sauce over the chicken skewers and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Then take out the skewers with the chicken, turn them over, pour the sauce over them again and fry for about 10 minutes, the bacon should be browned. The temperature is set to 200 degrees for the entire cooking time. 
While the dish is preparing, chop fresh vegetables for serving and prepare the greens with whole sprigs. If you decide to make a vegetable salad, then season it better with vegetable or olive oil. By the way, a fresh tomato salad or canned tomatoes in slices will go well with chicken skewers on skewers cooked in the oven. 
I hope you enjoyed today's treat and will definitely prepare it for your family and friends.
Marinated chicken cooks very quickly. Lean breast fillet will go very well with bacon, and under the baked cheese crust the skewers will look amazing! Turmeric and curry will add a pleasant oriental note to the dish.
An individual portion of chicken on skewers is quickly browned in a frying pan, and then the skewers are baked in the oven with cheese.
So, to prepare such a hot appetizer we need:
Ingredients:
- fresh chicken fillet – 3 pieces;
- bacon – 200 grams;
- onion – 1 head;
- mayonnaise 5-6 tablespoons (can be replaced with kefir);
- ground red sweet pepper (paprika) – 1 teaspoon;
- turmeric – 1 pinch;
- curry – 1 pinch;
- salt and ground black pepper - to taste;
- hard cheese – 100 grams;
- vegetable oil - for frying;
- wooden skewers for shish kebab.
Cooking process:
Wash the chicken fillet thoroughly in running water, and then cut into pieces, preferably square, about 2-3 cm thick.
Next, the chicken pieces need to be marinated; to do this, place the chopped fillet in a suitable deep bowl, add salt and ground black pepper to it to taste, as well as aromatic spices - turmeric, curry, ground sweet red pepper (paprika). In addition, we peel and cut one onion into thin half rings, and also add the onion to the chicken.
Now add mayonnaise to the meat, mix everything well and put our kebab in the refrigerator to marinate for 2-3 hours.
After the time indicated above, take the marinated fillet out of the refrigerator and begin stringing the kebab onto sticks. To begin, cut the bacon into small rectangular plates, 5-7 millimeters thick.
Thread a piece of chicken onto each skewer, alternating it with slices of bacon.
Next, heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry our kebabs on all sides until golden brown over high heat (not until fully cooked).
Then transfer the skewers into a deep baking dish. Ideally, it is desirable that their ends lie on the edge of the form, and the kebab itself does not touch the bottom of the form. Place the kebabs in the oven for 20 minutes, cook at 200 degrees.
When the dish is almost ready, take it out of the oven, sprinkle grated cheese on top, and bake again for literally another 1-2 minutes so that the cheese gets a crust.
Serve ready-made chicken skewers with bacon and cheese crust with baked or boiled potatoes, as well as any sauce, such as adjika or ketchup.
Despite the speed of preparation, the main thing is not to forget that marinating requires additional time. If there are a large number of dishes on the holiday menu, then it is more practical to marinate the meat the evening before.
