SHISH TAWOOK

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the ingredients for the marinade (yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, all the seasoning and salt/pepper) and whisk to combine.
• Place the chicken cubes in the same bowl and coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover, and let rest/marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
• Thread the chicken on skewers right before grilling. Add one wedge of onions to each skewer, if desired.
• Grill on medium heat for 5-8 minutes per side.
• Serve with pita bread, lettuce and garlic sauce, if desired.

SHISH TAOUK (CHICKEN KEBAB RECIPE)

Steps:

• In non-reactive container (glass, good ceramic or stainless steel) combine the cubed chicken, garlic, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, allspice, oil and lemon juice, mix well, cover (you can use saran wrap).
• *Note* You should marinate the chicken for several hours in the refrigerator to get the best taste out of the chicken.
• Thirty minutes before grilling remove from refrigerator, allowing it to reach room temperature.
• Thread onto skewers *note*.
• If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in cold water for at least 20 minutes prior to using.
• Grill over medium charcoal fire, basting and turning several times, until delicately browned.
• The recipe also says you can also grill in the oven, but if you've got a charcoal grill, it works much nicer.
• But if you dont have a charcoal grill; pre-heat the grill. Place chicken on skewers over an oven sheet and cook until browned (6-8 minutes), turning skewers and basting occasionally with the marinade to keep moist.
• I serve this with baked pita,hummus, Kibbee, and a nice green salad with feta cheese dressing.

SHISH TAWOOK CHICKEN RECIPE - GRILLED CHICKEN KABOBS WRAPS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts into cubes of about 2 inches each. The cubes shouldn't be too small otherwise they'll dry quickly on the grill.
• Place chicken cubes in a bowl, add all marinade ingredients and rub with hands until all ingredients assimilated well.
• Let marinate in a covered container in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Skewer the chicken right before grilling.
• Grill on a BBQ on medium heat for 12-15 minutes maximum turning frequently. Overcooking can dry the chicken.
• Alternatively, you can lay the skewers on the edges of a deep Pyrex dish and bake in the oven at 400F for 15 mins.
• Once cooked, remove the chicken cubes and place in a pot while covering the lid tightly. Let rest for 5 minutes to help the chicken self-steam and turn juicier and softer.
• Spread 1 teaspoon of Lebanese garlic paste along the center/diameter of a pita bread.
• Add 4-5 chicken kabobs.
• Garnish with salted cucumber pickles, French fries, grilled tomatoes or peppers (optional)., Roll and enjoy. You could also toast the wrap roll through a panini grill for 2-3 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash chicken breasts with cool water, then cut them into equal sized cubes.
• In a mixing bowl, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over chicken cubes and coat them with the flour and a pinch of salt. Cut two lemons and put the pieces in the bowl with the chicken.
• Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• During that 15 minutes, in a mixing bowl, mix tomato paste, yogurt, mustard, garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, 7 spice/allspice, season-all and the juice of 1/2 lemon together.
• Rinse flour and lemon mixture off of the chicken cubes and discard the lemons.
• Coat the chicken with the spice mixture, cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• I like to eat this meal with fattoush salad and baba ghannouj, and use the marinating time to prepare those things.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Fry the chicken cubes until they are almost completely cooked. Allow them to cool to the touch.
• When they have cooled, put about 6 cubes on each skewer.
• Mix the remaining sauce with 3T of water in the bottom of a Pyrex baking dish and balance the chicken skewers over the top.
• Bake the chicken for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
• Serve with pita bread and/or rice.
