This chicken kebabs are juicy and flavourful without being spicy. You can have them with plain steamed persian rice pilaf( recipe in my cookpad page)or wrap it into thin flat naan bread. I use heavy cast iron double grill pan to cook them but for sure tastes even better to grill over charcoals in metal skewers outdoors. Lemon rind is optional. I added them as I think they give better taste to persian style chicken kebab. Dried rosemary is optional too.(joojeh kabab usully being served with plain grilled tomatos). At least marinate for 12 hours. I did for 24 hours.
