Shish taouk
Shish taouk
Shish taouk is a delicious Mediterranean dish that originated in the Middle East. It typically consists of marinated and grilled chunks of chicken, accompanied by a variety of flavorful spices such as garlic, lemon, yogurt, and various herbs. The result is tender, juicy, and incredibly tasty chicken skewers. Shish taouk is often served with pita bread, rice, or as part of a salad.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts boneless skinless, cut into cubes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 lemons juiced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.

- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
