Shish tawook are tasty grilled chicken skewers that are served in every restaurant in the Middle East. You can easily make them at home and they'll taste just as good, if not better! Don't be tempted to substitute sour cream for the yogurt, as the yogurt works as a meat tenderizer.

Ingredients

  • plain yogurt: 0.75 cup
  • lemon juice: 0.25 cup
  • vegetable oil: 0.25 cup
  • garlic: 4 clove (minced)
  • tomato paste: 2 tsp
  • ½ teaspoons salt: 1 piece
  • oregano: 1 tsp (dried)
  • ground black pepper: 0.25 tsp
  • ground allspice: 0.25 tsp
  • ground cinnamon: 0.25 tsp
  • ground cardamom: 0.125 tsp
  • skinless, boneless chicken breast halves: 2 pound (cut into 2-inch pieces)

  • green bell pepper: 1 piece (cut into large chunks)
