SHISH TAOUK (SHISH TAWOOK)
This is a great Lebanese grilled chicken kabob recipe. You mix up the marinade, drop in the chicken and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours. When ready to cook it, just thread it on skewers and grill it up. Enjoy! ;)

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts for the best flavor and texture.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse it with flavor.
- Use wooden skewers for grilling the chicken, as they will not burn or char like metal skewers.
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until cooked through.
- Do not overcook the chicken, as it will become dry and tough.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic sauce, tahini sauce, or tzatziki sauce.
- Enjoy the chicken as a main course, or as a part of a mezze platter.
Conclusion:
Shish taouk is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are grilling it at home or ordering it from a restaurant, you are sure to enjoy this classic Middle Eastern dish.
