I rememeber a trip to Spain, where I first tasted the magic of smoked paprika combined with chorizo. I’ve been tinkering ever since to recreate that experience, and I think I've finally nailed it with these kebabs! One time, my niece accidentally spilled an entire jar of paprika while I was cooking, and we ended up with a vibrant red hue to everything, which honestly, tasted better than before! You should really check out how I did this, let's get started with the recipe!

These Smoked Paprika Chicken and Chorizo Kebabs with Potatoes are a flavour explosion, and pretty simple to put together. The smoky, slightly spicy paprika complements the richness of the chorizo and the tenderness of the chicken beautifully. Adding potatoes to the mix not only makes it a complete meal but also soaks up all those delicious juices. Seriously though, one time I forgot to soak my wooden skewers and ended up with a minor BBQ firework display! Now I set a 30 min timer on my phone!

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Get started by prepping all your ingredients. Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. Slice the chorizo into roughly the same size. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces—about 1-inch chunks. Make sure that the chicken and chorizo are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken and chorizo. Drizzle with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons). Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss everything together until the chicken and chorizo are evenly coated with the spices.
  3. Now it's time to assemble the kebabs. Thread the chicken, chorizo, and potato pieces onto the skewers, alternating between them. Don't overcrowd the skewers; leave a little space between each piece to ensure they cook evenly. Typically, you'll want about 5-6 pieces per skewer.
  4. Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with olive oil to prevent the kebabs from sticking. If using a grill pan, ensure it's also lightly oiled.
  5. Place the assembled kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). Make sure not to burn the chorizo! Patience is key here.
  6. Once the kebabs are cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful kebabs.
  7. If you want to add a fresh touch, garnish the kebabs with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving. Serve hot off the grill. Feel free to serve with a tangy dipping sauce, like a garlic aioli or a spicy chimichurri.
