Chicken shashlik with garlic and rosemary

4 servings

20 minutes

Chicken skewers with garlic and rosemary are a fragrant and juicy dish that embodies the warmth of Russian cuisine and the spirit of cozy family gatherings. The history of skewers dates back to ancient times when meat cooked over an open fire became an integral part of feasting. This version is distinguished by the tenderness of chicken meat soaked in a spicy marinade of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and aromatic rosemary. Grilled, the skewers acquire an appetizing golden crust, while the rich aroma of herbs makes it an ideal treat for friendly get-togethers or festive tables. Serving with a refreshing cucumber and tomato salad complements the flavor, creating a harmony of lightness and richness.
