Chicken Tawook is a popular Middle Eastern dish, particularly associated with Lebanese cuisine. It consists of bite-sized pieces of chicken, marinated in a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and a mix of warm spices like paprika and oregano. This flavorful marinade infuses the chicken with its signature tangy and smoky taste. Traditionally, it’s skewered and grilled, often served with fresh vegetables, rice, or flatbreads. From a nutritional perspective, Chicken Tawook is a high-protein option, thanks to the lean chicken. The olive oil provides healthy fats, while the yogurt adds probiotics that support digestion. However, depending on preparation, sodium content can be high due to spices and added salt, so mindful seasoning is advised. Pairing it with whole grains and vegetables makes it a wholesome meal. Grilling instead of frying also keeps the fat content relatively low, making it a relatively healthy choice.
