Shish Taouk - Lebanese Chicken Skewers

this is a family friendly recipe. I have to say not one of my kids cried at the dinner table and 3 out of 4 kids ate it. Lately, my 2 year old hasnt eaten anything I make. It was a good easy to prepare dinner and will make it again!!!

My Lebanese boyfriend declared it authentic and delicious. I love it because there's no cinnamon, cloves, cumin or coriander which I am not crazy about yet they often appear in middle eastern recipes. Thank you.

I made this a couple of weeks ago. It was fantastic. I made some changes like adding cayenne and forgoing sumaq.I pan-fry the chicken instead of grilling. My husband and I loved it! I'm making them again today.

Really good chicken skewers. I marinated overnight and cooked on the BBQ for lunch the next day, was a big hit with my guests and especially my teenage kids who can be hard to please sometimes. I will definately be makeing these again. Thankyou for sharing :)

Grilled these on the BBQ and they were really yummy. Followed the recipe but marinated them overnight in a large ziplock bag because I wanted them for lunch. Really messy though skewering them but that is just my feeling of sticking my hands in the marinade to search for the chicken...I tried to find pickled turnips to go with this but no such luck. I know there are recipes here but they needed time to pickle and didn't have that time. Guess I will have to find a place on line to order them from. I think I would of liked a little sauce to dip them in so next time I make these I will make some garlic sauce. But the flavor of the marinade is very good tasting and so easy to get the marinade ready. MMMmmm....will keep this recipe...thanks for sharing justcallmetoni....Was a delicious lunch with Mediterranean Salad Mediterranean Salad

I made a vegetarian version of this recipe using White Wave brand seitan, fat free Greek yogurt, and lemon zest in place of the sumaq because I didn't have any on hand. It was absolutely delicious--moist, flavorful, and satisfying. I broiled the skewers along with veggie skewers made with red bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini that I had tossed with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Served with the Lebanese Bulgur recipe on this site, a dollop of yogurt, and spicy pickles. It was perfection! Thank you for a fantastic recipe. I will be making this again this week!

One of the best recipes for chicken skewers out there. I had this at a Middle Eastern restaurant in Dallas last year. These chicken kabobs was much better then the restaraunt. Only thing different I do is substitute sumaq for lemon zest from a lemon peeling with a pinch a salt. I also broil the chicken skewers in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes per side. I still have yet to try it on the grill, which I'm sure is much better.

4 1/2 stars for DH and I. Other than adding additional garlic and using a bit less freshly ground black pepper I followed this recipe exactly.

This is soooooo good!!! Didn't have any sumac so added some lemon juice. Also didn't make skewers - marinated and grilled whole chicken breasts. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! :)

I come from Lebanon and I must say this is best and most authentic tasting shish taouk recipe. The only addition I made was one teaspoon of dried thyme. I grilled the chicken with mushrooms and green/red peppers and then made sandwishes out of them with garlic sauce and pickle. Absolutely delicious!

My family loved this, I myself felt something was missing. Maybe more salt to enhance the flavors.

WOW - this is really good! Nothing like the Shish Taouk we get from our local Lebanese deli, but amazing anyway! I served it on pita break with Fage yogurt and it was great! Thanks, this is a keeper!

Delicious! I didn't have time to go to the local Mediterranean market to buy sumaq, so I substituted lemon rind (I grated one lemon and used the other part for the juice it calls for in the recipe). I also took the lazy persons way of cooking it. I lined a sheet pan with foil, sprayed it with non-stick spray and put the cubed chicken on top of it without the skewers. I had to do it in 2 batches under the broiler set to Hi for about 5-7 minutes. It was great! Thanks so much for this recipe!

Yum. I give it 5 stars, DH gave it 4. It was delicious, but it taste a lot like a dish I make called "tikka botti chicken".

This was a lovely recipe! We've had middle eastern chicken recipes before but generally my other half finds them too lemony. This was lovely though - just right. A nice, delicate marinade with lots of great flavours. I made it as directed except I've no idea what sumaq is so I missed that out. Also, my grill/broiler is broken so I baked at 200c for about 20 mins, which worked well (although it needed draining once as lots of liquid came out). We will definitely be having this again. Thanks for a great recipe!

Great recipe! I couldn't find the sumaq, so I just omitted it, but the chicken still turned out great! Very tender and flavorful. Will make again soon.
