These traditional chicken shish kabobs showcase succulent chunks of chicken that have been carefully prepared and seasoned, delivering the classic flavors that make this dish a beloved staple across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures. The word "shish" means skewer in Turkish, while "kabob" refers to grilled meat, reflecting this dish's rich culinary heritage spanning from Turkey and Greece to Lebanon and beyond. Each skewer offers perfectly portioned pieces of chicken that cook evenly, making them ideal for both novice and experienced home cooks who want to bring restaurant-quality flavors to their own kitchen. For best results, grill these chicken shish kabobs over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking throughout.

Serve alongside warm pita bread, fluffy basmati rice, or fresh tabbouleh salad for an authentic Mediterranean meal. These versatile kabobs pair beautifully with grilled vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini, or complement them with traditional accompaniments such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or garlic yogurt sauce. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, preparing a weeknight dinner, or planning a special occasion meal, these chicken shish kabobs offer a delicious and convenient way to enjoy the timeless flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine.
