Sheet Pan Chicken Kebabs with Harissa Yogurt

Sheet pan chicken kebabs are shaped directly on a baking sheet, baked briefly, and finished under the grill for a juicy, charred finish.

Why This Recipe Works

Blending aromatics into the mince spreads flavor evenly, while the short oven bake keeps the kebabs tender. Harissa yogurt adds creamy heat and the onion salad keeps it bright.

Ingredients Overview

Sumac, baharat, and smoked paprika build a warm spice base, while parsley and lemon keep the plate fresh. Flatbreads make it a complete meal.

How to Make It

Pulse the kebab mix, shape it on a sheet pan, bake, then grill for color. Mix the yogurt and salad while the kebabs cook.

Tips and Storage

Store kebabs and salad separately. Reheat the kebabs under the grill or in a hot pan to keep them juicy.

Shaping Notes

Because these kebabs are formed directly on the tray, it helps to keep the mixture cold and slightly tacky. If it feels too loose, chill it briefly before shaping so the logs hold their form in the oven.

The final blast under the grill is what gives them their best color. Watch closely at that stage, since the mince is already cooked and only needs a little time to pick up char around the edges.

Serving Ideas

Flatbreads make this feel like an easy dinner, but the kebabs also work well over rice, couscous, or a chopped salad. A few pickles or extra lemon wedges on the side keep the plate from feeling too rich.
