Step 1
1. First, prepare the sauce in which the chicken will marinate. Put the sour cream into a deep bowl. Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-rings. Press the peeled garlic through a garlic press or mince it with a knife. Wash the fresh herbs (this sour cream chicken kebab recipe calls for parsley here, but you can use any fresh or dried herbs), pat them dry, and chop finely. Add all the ingredients to the sour cream. Season with salt to taste and add your favorite chicken spices. Mix everything thoroughly thoroughly.

2. Wash the chicken fillet and pat dry. Cut into medium-sized cubes. For neat pieces, you can briefly freeze the fillet; it will hold its shape better. Place the fillet in the prepared marinade for 3–4 hours. You can leave the chicken in the sour cream marinade overnight.

4. In advance, you need to prepare the skewers on which the kebab will be cooked. Soak them in water and leave them for 1–2 hours—this will keep them from burning during cooking. Carefully thread 3–4 pieces of fillet onto each skewer so that the free end of the bacon strip is secured.
