About Shish tawook skewer

Shish Tawook Skewers are a classic Middle Eastern dish, popular in Lebanese and Turkish cuisines. This flavorful recipe features marinated cubes of chicken threaded onto skewers, typically seasoned with a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, and other spices to enhance tenderness and taste. Grilled to perfection, these skewers are a high-protein option that is often served with fresh vegetables, rice, or flatbread. Shish Tawook's health benefits stem from the lean protein in chicken and the nutrient-rich marinade ingredients, such as lemon juice and garlic. The grilling method further minimizes added fats, making it a lighter dish compared to fried alternatives. However, sodium levels can be high depending on the marination process, and pairing with heavy sauces or breads may increase calorie content. Balance this dish with wholesome sides to enjoy its nutritious and delicious qualities to the fullest.
