Ingredients
- 1 cup Marie’s® Original Coleslaw dressing
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 boneless chicken breasts, cut in large bite-sized pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped in large pieces
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water
- ½ head green cabbage, shredded
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- ½ cup Marie’s® Original Coleslaw dressing
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional)
- 6 pieces pita bread
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- Marie’s® Original Coleslaw dressing, for drizzling
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together Marie’s Original Coleslaw dressing, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Alternate pieces of chicken and onion onto each skewer, then place skewers in a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken skewers, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Prepare the slaw: In a large bowl, stir together the cabbage, onion, parsley, and Marie’s Original Coleslaw dressing until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for an extra kick of spice, if you like.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with a little oil to coat and grill the marinated chicken skewers. Turn skewers occasionally until chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with warm pita bread, slaw, sliced tomatoes, and extra Marie’s Original Coleslaw dressing for drizzling.
