Chicken & Vegetable Shish Kabob: A Historic Grill Favorite

Shish kabob, or "javaher kabab" in Persian, has been a staple in Iranian cuisine for centuries. The dish is believed to have originated in the Caucasus region, with the word "shish" meaning "skewer" in Turkish. It was introduced to Iran through trade routes and has since become a national dish, often served at celebrations and gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat all ingredients evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
