Resumo para quem tem pressa

"Light and aromatic, this skewer combines juicy cubes of chicken breast marinated in extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a generous portion of freshly chopped parsley and chives. It is worth roasting on the grill to obtain tender meat with charred marks and a fresh, herbaceous flavor."

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- O descanso de 30 minutos na marinada cítrica quebra as proteínas superficiais e hidrata a carne branca de frango - O azeite de oliva na marinada impede que os cubos de peito ressequem sob o calor direto da churrasqueira - O tempo de descanso de 5 minutos após grelhar redistribui os sucos internos e mantém o frango incrivelmente tenro

Chef Tips

- Deixe os espetos de madeira imersos em água por pelo menos 30 minutos antes de montar para evitar que queimem na brasa - Corte os cubos de frango em tamanho uniforme de 3 cm para assegurar que assem por igual sem secar as pontas - Pincele as sobras da marinada de azeite e ervas sobre os espetos durante o cozimento para intensificar o aroma

Variations

- Intercale os cubos de frango com pedaços de cebola roxa, pimentão amarelo e tomates-cereja nos espetos - Acrescente folhas frescas de orégano ou alecrim picadinho à marinada para reforçar as notas de ervas do bosque - Pincele uma camada fina de mostarda Dijon misturada com mel nos minutos finais na grelha para caramelizar

Substitutions

- O peito de frango pode ser substituído por filé de sobrecoxa cortado em cubos para maior teor de suculência e gordura - O suco de limão taiti pode ser trocado por limão siciliano ou vinagre de maçã suave na mesma proporção - O azeite de oliva pode ser substituído por óleo de gergelim claro ou óleo de girassol com manteiga derretida

How to Store

Store the grilled skewers in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot pan greased with olive oil or in the oven at 180°C for 8 minutes so as not to lose internal moisture.

Can You Freeze It?

The skewers can be frozen raw already marinated or baked for up to 60 days in airtight packaging. If raw, thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight before taking to the hot grill.

What to Serve With

Pairs well with fluffy white rice, onion farofa toasted in butter, traditional vinaigrette, and crispy garlic bread. To drink, an ice-cold artisanal pilsner beer or lemonade with fresh mint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to prevent chicken breast from drying out on the grill?

Keep the chicken in the marinade with olive oil for 30 minutes and grill over medium coals without exceeding 15 minutes on total heat.

Why is it necessary to soak wooden skewers before the barbecue?

The water absorbed by the wood prevents the skewers from catching fire or burning and breaking from the heat of the coals.

Can I prepare the skewers in the oven or on the stovetop?

Yes, they can be grilled in a very hot iron skillet for about 12 minutes or baked in the oven at 200°C for 18 minutes.

Do fresh herbs burn on the grill?

The marinade oil protects the herbs; still, avoid direct fire with flames so as not to burn the parsley and green onions.
