Sheet pan Lebanese shish tawook chicken is marinated in lemon and garlic then baked in the oven until golden brown. This recipe is ideal for salads, pitas, rice and more.
Hands down, Lebanese Shish Tawook Chicken is probably one of my favorite weeknight dinner recipes. Served with a lentil side salad or a warm bowl of turkish red lentil soup, it’s a weekly staple for us! While it’s frequently made on skewers, 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!
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts: A lean source of protein that is easily accessible and affordable.
- Lemon juice: Acidic, bright flavor that makes the chicken nice and tender.
- Olive oil: Helps to coat and marinate the chicken.
- Garlic: Pungent, aromatic, flavor to season the chicken.
- Salt & pepper: Enhances the natural flavors of the other ingredients.
How to Make Sheet Pan Lebanese Shish Tawook Chicken
Start your shish tawook chicken by taking your chicken breasts and patting them dry, then cutting them into small chunks.
Then take a large bowl and use a microplane to grate in your garlic cloves.
Then whisk in the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Many recipes also use plain yogurt in the marinade, so feel free to try that as well!
Toss the chicken in the marinade, and make sure everything is evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, then pour onto a prepared baking sheet.
Spread the chicken evenly on the sheet pan, then bake in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes.
Once chicken is golden brown and cooked through, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your Sheet Pan Lebanese Shish Tawook Chicken!
