Chicken Taouk is a popular Middle Eastern dish, originating from Levantine cuisine, known for its flavorful marinated chicken skewers. The marinade typically consists of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and a blend of spices such as paprika, cumin, and cinnamon, giving the chicken its distinct tangy and aromatic taste. Grilled to perfection, this dish is often served with accompaniments like pita bread, fresh vegetables, rice, or garlic sauce. Chicken Taouk is a great source of lean protein and offers essential nutrients like zinc and vitamin B6, thanks to its minimal use of fat and the yogurt-based marinade. Using olive oil provides healthy fats, but the sodium content can be high if packaged marinades are used. Pairing it with fresh salads or whole-grain sides can make the meal more balanced and nutritious while keeping calorie counts in check.
