Chicken Reshmi Kebab Recipe

Chicken Reshmi Kabab is made with Pieces of Boneless Chicken Breast, marinated in juicy mixture of Curd, Cream, Cashew nuts and Spices and then Grilled in Oven. It is one of the most popular Indian Kabab dish, served in almost every restaurant. The beautiful aroma of flavors and tenderness of chicken are the important things to be taken care while cooking it.

Today I have used boneless chicken breast for making my kabab, some people use chicken leg pieces as well. The marination of this kabab is so juicy and tender that really turns into a mouth melting kabab dish.

Chicken Kababs are always considered as a healthy Appetizer or starter. You can make variety of Chicken Kababs in your home, such as Hariyali Chicken Kabab, Chicken Seekh Kabab, Chicken Sholey Kabab and many more. Marination should be well done with spices and flavors, and the next important aspect is timing of cooking the chicken. For making Kababs you can use boneless chicken or even chicken on bone. I personally prefer boneless chicken pieces.

Chicken is high protein food item and when it is cooked in kabab style, then it turns very light in eating and also contains less calories. People who are on weight training programe must have this kabab meal once a day. It’s because after exercising alot, this kabab gives you good stamina, fulfill your hunger and makes you healthy as well.
