Cut the chicken breast into large cubes.
Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, tomato paste, sumac, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken to the marinade and rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
Thread the chicken onto the skewers without packing it tightly.
Heat the grill pan very well.
Cook the skewers for 10 minutes, turning them, until the chicken is fully cooked inside.
Serve the shish taouk hot with lavash and toum.
💡 Tip: The yogurt marinade tenderizes the chicken, but leaving it too long can loosen the texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with toum, lavash, pickles, and roasted tomatoes.
