Description

Pomegranate molasses is mixed with a variety of spices—cumin, coriander, cloves, and cinnamon—to make a provocatively flavored marinade for chicken kebabs.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cups Olive Oil, Plus 1 Teaspoon, Divided
  • ¼ cups Pomegranate Molasses
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • ¾ teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1-¾ pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1-inch Cubes
  • 1 whole Large Red Bell Pepper, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces

Preparation

In a large bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup olive oil, pomegranate molasses, garlic cloves, coriander, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss well until coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 5 hours. During the last hour, place 8 long wooden skewers into a dish filled with warm water. Pre-soaking the skewers will stop them from burning on the barbecue. Alternatively, use metal skewers.

Spray the grill and preheat to medium-high heat.

Place red bell pepper in a small bowl and toss with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil.

Thread the chicken and red bell pepper pieces onto the skewers. (If using metal skewers, this step can be completed 2 hours ahead of cooking. Cover and refrigerate.)

Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Take care not to overcook the chicken. Arrange on a platter and serve.

sounds fantastic. i googled pomegranate molasses and found recipes that are basically just simple syrups… for example:

Nuttymama, I found it in a specialty store near me. However, I left several online resources at the bottom of my blog post for this recipe (click on “Related Blog Post”) underneath the recipe photo on this page. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it!

This looks delicious! Where do you find Pomegranate Molasses? I’ve looked for it in our local chain grocery stores but no luck. Sadly, we don’t have a gourmet food shop locally.
