Cook time: 18 mins
Total time: 48 mins
Ingredients
2 lbs of skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes/Kabab chunks
1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
a small slice of lemon with the peel (optional, don't put too much)
15 cloves of garlic, crushed
6 table spoons of plain yogurt (Greek yogurt)
6 table spoons of olive oil
2 table spoons of red vinegar (apple cider vinegar)
1.5 to 2 teaspoons of ground white pepper
teaspoon of ground ginger spice
teaspoon of ground thyme, or ground oregano
teaspoon of paprika
1+ teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
to 1 teaspoon of tomato paste

Instructions
Mix all ingredients well together while rubbing the chicken
Place in a container, cover, and let rest/marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours
Skewer the chicken right before grilling
Grill on medium heat for 12-18 minutes maximum
As soon as you remove them from the grill, place them in a big warm pot, replace the lid tightly,
and let rest for 8-10 minutes - this helps the chicken become more moist (this step is optional)
Spread 1 teaspoon of our garlic paste along the diameter of a pita bread, add some salted
cucumber pickles, french fries, grilled tomatoes or peppers (optional), the grilled chicken shish
tawook, roll as in a burrito and enjoy. You could also toast the sandwich roll through a panini
grill for 2-3 minutes.
