Try our Chicken Shish Tawook Recipe, an Easy Way to Make Delicious Middle Eastern Chicken Kabobs.

Ingredients

2 lbs of skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes/Kabab chunks

1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

a small slice of lemon with the peel (optional, don't put too much)

15 cloves of garlic, crushed

6 table spoons of plain yogurt (Greek yogurt)

6 table spoons of olive oil

2 table spoons of red vinegar (apple cider vinegar)

1.5 to 2 teaspoons of ground white pepper

1/2; teaspoon of ground ginger spice

½ teaspoon of ground thyme, or ground oregano

1/2 teaspoon of paprika

1+ teaspoon of salt (or to taste)

½ to 1 teaspoon of tomato paste

Lebanese Garlic Paste (see our recipe here) to be served with shish tawook

Instructions

Mix all ingredients well together while rubbing the chicken

Place in a container, cover, and let rest/marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours

Skewer the chicken right before grilling

Grill on medium heat for 12-18 minutes maximum

As soon as you remove them from the grill, place them in a big warm pot, replace the lid tightly, and let rest for 8-10 minutes - this helps the chicken become more moist (this step is optional)

Spread 1 teaspoon of our garlic paste along the diameter of a pita bread, add some salted cucumber pickles, french fries, grilled tomatoes or peppers (optional), the grilled chicken shish tawook, roll as in a burrito and enjoy. You could also toast the sandwich roll through a panini grill for 2-3 minutes.

I had that Classic Lebanese book at one time. I could kick myself for getting rid of it.
