Shish Taouk Tawook Chicken Kebab Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, vegetable oil, plain yogurt, garlic, tomato paste, salt, oregano, pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and cardamom in a large bowl; add the chicken and toss to coat. Transfer the chicken mixture into a large plastic bag; refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread the chicken, onions, and pepper onto metal skewers. Cook on preheated grill until the chicken is golden and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes each side. Sprinkle the parsley over the skewers.

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.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together oil, yogurt, ketchup, and mustard. Season with garlic powder, paprika, allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, and curry powder. Stir in chicken pieces, coating all sides with marinade. Cover bowl, and refrigerate overnight.
• To make dipping sauce, mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, garlic, and salt. Cover, and refrigerate.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken pieces to a shallow baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven 30 minutes.

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.
