Ingredients
For the Chicken Tawook Skewers
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil

- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and spices to create the marinade.

Notes
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight. Serve with warm pita bread or swap rice for quinoa for extra protein.
