Hands down, Lebanese Shish Tawook Chicken is probably one of my go-to weeknight dinner recipes. Traditionally made in a frying pan, I decided to make this 5-ingredient recipe even easier by baking it in the oven on a sheet pan.

Flavored with plenty of bright lemon juice, fresh garlic and extra virgin olive oil, the chicken bakes in the oven while my hands are free to do other important things.

You know, like toss a quick Syrian salad or whip up a side of Lebanese cucumber yogurt sauce (laban.) Shish tawook chicken is also delicious served over a hot bed of Lebanese Rice Pilaf.

No matter how you choose to enjoy this Lebanese chicken recipe, I highly recommend making a double batch. Leftovers taste delicious the next day in a pita with creamy hummus or over a Lebanese chopped salad.

Your fork is waiting.
