Chermoula Chicken Kebabs With Zucchini Salad

Chermoula Chicken Kebabs With Zucchini Salad
Linda Xiao for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne.

Recipe by Nargisse Benkabbou | Total time: 1 hour 5 minutes

This recipe pairs chermoula, a classic Moroccan spiced and herbaceous marinade, with a crisp and bright shaved zucchini salad. A small amount of honey added to the marinade helps the chicken caramelize beautifully, whether it is cooked over the coals of a barbecue or under the high heat of an oven. When zucchini comes into contact with salt and acid, it begins to release its moisture and lose its characteristic crunch—so, to ensure the best texture, the salad should be dressed only at the last moment. The combination of fragrant chicken and lemony zucchini makes for a vibrant dinner with minimal active effort.
