Mediterranean Chicken Shish Kabob Recipes

SHISH TAWOOK (MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN KABOBS)

Shish Tawook (Mediterranean Chicken Kabobs) image

Grilled, marinated, Mediterranean-style chicken. This recipe was inspired by the Lebanese restaurant for which I used to work. Its flavor is so unique and outside the box and will have everyone trying to guess the ingredients because its flavor is so mouth watering! Goes great with a plain or bland rice pilaf. Also fatoosh or tabbouleh salad goes well with it as a side. You'll need metal skewers or a grilling basket (I prefer the basket).

Time 4h48m

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless chicken breast (cut into cubes/Kabab chunks)
1 cup lemon juice
slice lemon (optional)
15 cloves garlic (crushed)
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 teaspoon white pepper (ground)
1/3 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme (or ground oregano)
1/3 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon tomato paste
4 teaspoons Garlic Paste (Lebanese style)
4 loafs pita bread
4 tomatoes (grilled)
2 cups French fries
8 salted pickles (Lebanese style cucumber pickles)

Steps:

Cut the chicken breasts into cubes of about 2 inches each. The cubes shouldn't be too small otherwise they'll dry quickly on the grill.
Place chicken cubes in a bowl, add all marinade ingredients and rub with hands until all ingredients assimilated well.
Let marinate in a covered container in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Skewer the chicken right before grilling.
Grill on a BBQ on medium heat for 12-15 minutes maximum turning frequently. Overcooking can dry the chicken.
Alternatively, you can lay the skewers on the edges of a deep Pyrex dish and bake in the oven at 400F for 15 mins.
Once cooked, remove the chicken cubes and place in a pot while covering the lid tightly. Let rest for 5 minutes to help the chicken self-steam and turn juicier and softer.
Spread 1 teaspoon of Lebanese garlic paste along the center/diameter of a pita bread.
Add 4-5 chicken kabobs.
Garnish with salted cucumber pickles, French fries, grilled tomatoes or peppers (optional)., Roll and enjoy. You could also toast the wrap roll through a panini grill for 2-3 minutes.

Categories One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 lbs dark chicken meat (well trimmed cut into squares)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 bell pepper (chopped)

Steps:

Combine all ingredients besides the chicken in a mixing bowl. Whisk together.
After the chicken is trimmed place the chicken in the bowl of mixed ingredients.
Mix the marinade over the chicken until well coated.
Leave chicken in the mixing bowl. Cover with saran wrap and let marinade for about 1-2 hours. ~Meanwhile soak your skewers in cold water for 30 minutes.
Pre heat your oven to 425.
Place foil on a baking sheet.
Start skewing your chicken pieces and bell pepper pieces, in whichever order you like and place on the baking sheet.
Leave in the oven for about 35-40 minutes on a middle shelf. If you like you can pour more of the marinade over the skewers about 5 minutes before they are fully cooked.
NOTE: It is best to cut the chicken with kitchen shears I find it so much easier than using a knife (which is what I tried using the first time I made these. Took forever. Trust me shears are the WAY TO GO).
*please remember all my recipes are made using a gas stove top and oven. So cooking times may vary.

Categories Main Course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 chicken fillets (cut in 1-inch cubes)
2 red bell peppers
2 green bell peppers
1 red onion
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (divided)
juice of 1 lemon (divided)
6 clove of garlic, chopped (divided)
2 teaspoon paprika (divided)
2 teaspoon thyme (divided)
4 teaspoon oregano (divided)
4 teaspoon salt (divided)
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)

Steps:

Mix 1/2 of all ingredients for the marinade in small bowl. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over it. Marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the other HALF of the ingredients in the same bowl pour into a ziplock bag with the vegetables. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.
If you are using wood skewers, while the chicken and veggies are marinating, soak the skewers in water for about 15 minutes. You need to soak wooden skewers in water for about 20- 30 minutes to keep them from igniting right there on the grill. I have also noticed that it's much easier to slide out the meat and veggies on your plate if the skewers have been soaked before grilling.
Thread the chicken and peppers and onions on the skewers. I usually place about 5-6 chicken pieces and a combo of peppers and onion in between.
Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grates lightly with oil and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.
You can also bake this Mediterranean chicken skewers in the oven if you want to. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place chicken skewers on roasting racks over two foil-lined baking sheets and bake for about 10-15 minutes, turn over once and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes on the other side, or until they are baked through.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 small or 1 medium zucchini (sliced into ½-inch thick rounds)
1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 small red or yellow onion (cut into 1-inch chunks with a few layers still together)
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

If using wooden skewers, soak them in a dish of warm water for at least 20 minutes.
Combine the chicken marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag or dish: olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Squish to mix in the bag or whisk if using a dish.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Make sure that all of the chicken is coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Place the zucchini rounds and chopped bell peppers in a baking dish or bowl. Drizzle with the 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss gently to coat. Add the onion to the bowl last and mix in very gently so that the onion layers stay together as best as possible.
Put the chicken and vegetables on the skewers, dividing evenly between the 8 skewers and arranging the vegetable pieces in between the chicken pieces. Aim to put about 3 chicken pieces and 2-3 pieces of each vegetable per skewer. Discard all of the used marinade that held the chicken.
Grill over medium heat for 12-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to cook all sides evenly. Kabobs are done when chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F.
