Chicken shashlik is a tender and aromatic dish from sunny Greece, where the tradition of cooking meat over an open fire dates back to ancient times. This recipe combines the freshness of yogurt marinade with the spiciness of paprika and rosemary, creating a harmony of flavors. The tenderness of the chicken is achieved through prolonged marination, while grilling gives it an appetizing golden crust. The light acidity of lemon highlights the depth of flavor, and garlic adds a pleasant spicy note. This shashlik pairs perfectly with fresh vegetables, pita or tzatziki sauce. The dish is suitable for both festive gatherings and cozy family dinners, offering a taste of the Mediterranean.
