Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 8 pieces Skewers
Instructions
Dice the chicken breasts into even-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Add paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to form the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until the chicken is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for more flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be nicely charred on the outside and cooked through in the center.
Garnish the grilled Shish Taouk with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides, like a fresh salad or cauliflower rice.
