Chicken kebab with sesame
This recipe is delicious it tastes as good as it looks. We love chicken and the sesame seeds perfectly complement this dish. A combination of green and orange vegetable adds more taste but it makes the dish colorful too. You can add different varieties of vegetables maybe a fresh salad of your choice and make a combination you like best.
