A delightful twist on the classic Lebanese Shish Taouk, these chicken skewers are marinated in a flavorful blend and grilled to perfection.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces suitable for skewering.
Ensure the pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, smoked paprika, sumac, black pepper, salt, minced garlic, tomato paste, juice of the lemon, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Taste the marinade before adding the chicken to adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Use a non-reactive container like glass or plastic for marinating.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill the skewers over medium-high heat or cook under a broiler, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes.
Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Serve the skewers hot with your favorite sides like hummus, tabbouleh, or pita bread.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
