Shish Taouk Kebobs (Chicken breasts kebobs)
This is how I marinate my chicken kebobs.
In Montreal we’re lucky to find them marinated in our Middle-eastern stores,but I prefer to prepare with my own freshly prepared ingredients, adding my preferred oil (olive oil), it’s as good as ready marinated ones even better.Enjoy.
