Steps:
- Wash chicken breasts with cool water, then cut them into equal sized cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over chicken cubes and coat them with the flour and a pinch of salt. Cut two lemons and put the pieces in the bowl with the chicken.
- Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- During that 15 minutes, in a mixing bowl, mix tomato paste, yogurt, mustard, garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, 7 spice/allspice, season-all and the juice of 1/2 lemon together.
- Rinse flour and lemon mixture off of the chicken cubes and discard the lemons.

- I like to eat this meal with fattoush salad and baba ghannouj, and use the marinating time to prepare those things.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Fry the chicken cubes until they are almost completely cooked. Allow them to cool to the touch.
- When they have cooled, put about 6 cubes on each skewer.

SHISH TAWOOK (MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN KABOBS)
Grilled, marinated, Mediterranean-style chicken. This recipe was inspired by the Lebanese restaurant for which I used to work. Its flavor is so unique and outside the box and will have everyone trying to guess the ingredients because its flavor is so mouth watering! Goes great with a plain or bland rice pilaf. Also fatoosh or tabbouleh salad goes well with it as a side. You'll need metal skewers or a grilling basket (I prefer the basket).
