Sheesh Tawook is a vibrant, iconic Middle Eastern grilled chicken dish. Halal chicken breast or thigh pieces are marinated in a uniquely flavorful blend of plain yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and a touch of tomato paste, which keeps the meat incredibly tender and moist during grilling. The key spices—paprika, oregano, and allspice—impart a subtle warmth and beautiful color. Skewered and grilled over high heat, the chicken develops a delightful smoky char. This is a fantastic, high-protein, low-carb main course, perfect for summer barbecues or a healthy family dinner. Serve with pita bread, hummus, and a garlic dipping sauce.
