This is a delicious dish of boneless chicken marinated in garlic, lemon juice and olive oil which is then grilled on skewers. I used this recipe as part of my Lebanese feast cookery class. The marinating ensures the most tender, delectable chicken.


I like to serve it with a lentil rice dish and a simple salad.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes plus marinating
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4 – 6 people

Ingredients:

600g boneless skinned chicken 1 tablespoon paprika 2 tablespoons lemon juice 5 tablespoons olive oil 4 tablespoons Garlic sauce (see recipe below) Salt and pepper to taste



Garnish: 2 lemons – cut into wedges

Method

1) Cut the chicken into medium size cubes. In a bowl mix the paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic sauce, salt and pepper.
2) Marinade the chicken cubes in the mixture for 4-5 hours or overnight.
3) Thread the chicken pieces on a skewer. Make sure the pieces are firm (you do this by cramming lots of them on the same skewer).
4) Then, simply grill (or better, charcoal) until the meat begins to brown. This will take about 15 minutes. To serve the stylish way: Dust the plate with smoked paprika. This delicious dish can be served with wedges of lemon, and is particularly good when served with rice and salad.
