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

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
