Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams

• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Skewers - 2
• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Butter - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. While the chicken marinates, prepare the cauliflower rice by grating the cauliflower or processing it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and stir in chopped parsley.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
6. Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
7. Serve the grilled shish tawook over the cauliflower rice and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and extra parsley for garnish.
