Chicken Kabobs (Shish Tawook)

Chicken Kebabs

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1-1 ½ inch pieces (beef works too - I prefer sirloin tips or filet)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

1

Place all ingredients, except chicken, in a gallon sized ziplock bag. Massage the bag until the marinade is well mixed.

2

Lay the chicken under plastic wrap and pound out slightly until the chicken is an even thickness. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.

3

Place the cubed chicken into the bag and smoosh around with the marinade until it is well incorporated.

4

Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.

5

Preheat your grill to a medium heat, roughly 350-F. (You should be able to hold your hand about 3 inches from the cooking grate for 6-7 seconds.)

6

Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, slightly pressing the pieces up against each other.

7

Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes a side, until the chicken is firm and golden.

Rating: 5 out of 5.
