1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, red bell pepper, parsley, onion, garlic, tomato paste, chicken bouillon powder, paprika, chili flakes, salt, black pepper, cumin, and turmeric. Mix until well combined.
3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil onto a sheet pan and spread evenly to coat.
4. Transfer the chicken mixture to the sheet pan. Spread it evenly to about 1-inch thickness, smoothing and squaring the edges using a bench scraper or spatula.
5. Using the bench scraper or spatula, divide the mixture lengthwise. Lightly score the surface to mark evenly sized kebab portions.
6. Drizzle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
7. Bake for 22–25 minutes. Halfway through baking, remove the pan, carefully drain any liquid that has collected, and redefine the separations between the kebabs.
8. Switch the oven to broil and broil for 5 minutes, or until the top is golden and lightly charred.
9. While the kebabs are in the oven, prepare the sumac onions.
10. Serve hot with yellow rice, sumac onions, lettuce, tomatoes, toom, and warm pita bread. Enjoy!
Sheet pan chicken kebabs are a fantastic meal solution, especially when you want something tasty and hassle-free. The key to making perfect kebabs on a sheet pan is balancing the spices and ensuring the chicken stays juicy while baking. When preparing the chicken mixture, chopping fresh red bell pepper, red onion, and parsley finely ensures even distribution of flavors throughout the kebabs. Using a mix of paprika, turmeric, cumin, chili flakes, and tomato paste creates a robust and aromatic spice profile that delivers authentic Middle Eastern flair. Baking the kebabs directly on a well-oiled sheet pan helps with easy cleanup and allows even cooking. The step of scoring the mixture into kebab portions before baking is clever – it allows you to portion the meat perfectly and makes serving easier after baking. Removing excess liquid halfway prevents soggy kebabs and helps achieve a firmer texture. Broiling at the end adds a lovely golden char, mimicking the outdoor grill flavor without the need for actual grilling. Pairing these kebabs with sumac onions adds a tangy brightness and crunch, elevating the dish. Sumac is a tangy, lemony spice commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine and is excellent for marinating onions. Serving with yellow rice, as suggested, rounds out the meal with a subtly spiced and colorful base. Although the yellow rice recipe is not included here, many cooks use turmeric, saffron, or annatto to achieve the brilliant color and flavor. For an easy weeknight dinner, this sheet pan chicken kebabs recipe provides a balanced meal with protein, veggies, and carbs with minimal dishes. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a quick, healthy, and flavorsome dinner option at home.
