Dairy-Free and Nut-Free Shish Tawook Skewers
Marinated chicken skewers grilled to perfection. This Shish Tawook recipe is completely dairy and nut-free, using a flavorful marinade that's easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- about 680 g Chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Wooden skewers
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g of chicken breast into 2.54 cm cubes.
- 2In a bowl, whisk together the 0.25 cup olive oil, 0.25 cup lemon juice, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 0.5 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- 3Add the about 680 g of chicken cubes to the marinade and toss them until every piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for several hours in the refrigerator.
- 4Preheat your grill to medium heat, aiming for a temperature between about 175°C and about 205°C (175°C to 200°C).
- 5Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the 8 wooden skewers, distributing them evenly.
- 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning them every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has developed a slightly charred exterior. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C.
- 7Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
