Shish Tawook (Authentic Lebanese Recipe)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2.2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast

  or thighs
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp tomato paste
• 1.5 Tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 Tbsp garlic

  minced (3-4 medium cloves)
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 Tbsp sumac
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp red chili powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 Tbsp salt

Instructions

• 1 In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, tomato paste,
  mustard, and minced garlic. Add all the spices and whisk well to remove any
  lumps.
• 2 Cut the chicken breasts into cubes – about 1 inch (2.5cm) in size.
• 3 Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat completely. Cover the bowl and
  refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• 4 When you're ready to grill, preheat the grill to 350ºF/175ºC.
• 5 Take your grilling skewers and carefully thread the chicken onto them. Depending
  on the size of the skewers, you should aim for 5-6 cubes of chicken per skewer.
• 6 Place the skewered chicken on the grill and cook it for about 5 minutes per
  side.
  
  Check for doneness with a meat thermometer—the internal temperature should be
  165ºF/75ºC. Alternatively, look for a golden-brown exterior with clear juices,
  and the chicken should feel firm yet tender to the touch.
• 7 Once cooked, place the skewers under tented foil (or an opened pita bread) to
  rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• 8 Serve the shish tawook hot
