Shish Tawook holds a special place on the Ramadan iftar table. This grilled chicken dish offers a delicious taste and nutritional value, providing protein and energy after long hours of fasting. Served with fresh salads and appetizers, it creates a balanced and satisfying meal perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Chicken breast: 500 g, cut into cubes
Yogurt: ½ cup
Lemon juice: 2 tbsp
Garlic: 3 cloves, crushed
Salt: ½ tsp
Black pepper: ¼ tsp
Mixed spices: ½ tsp
Paprika: ½ tsp
Olive oil: 2 tbsp
Bell pepper: 1, cut into cubes
Onion: 1, cut into cubes
Tomato: 1, cut into cubes
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, mixed spices, paprika, and olive oil.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, mix well to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill or oven to 200°C (390°F).
Soak wooden skewers in water for a few minutes to prevent burning. Thread the chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with bell pepper, tomato, and onion pieces.
Grill or bake for 15–20 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
Serve the Shish Tawook hot with rice, salad, or Arabic bread, accompanied by tahini sauce or garlic sauce as desired.
💡 Tips:
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Brush a little extra olive oil on the skewers while grilling to keep them juicy.
Pair with a refreshing cucumber-yogurt salad for a complete Ramadan meal.
This dish is easy to prepare, flavorful, and perfect for Ramadan iftar, making it a crowd-pleaser for family and friends.
