Shish Tawook (Recipe 29 of 150)

There's this little restaurant in Kirkland called Mediterranean Kitchen. Their Shisk Tawook is what dreams are made of. I love it. I hardly ever get to Kirkland these days, but I always have the craving for this meal. 

I found this recipe in a magazine and hoped it would stand up against that of Med Kitchen. It did not. BUT, it was still delicious. 

The tomato paste makes it a little sweet. I'd add salt and pepper this time. It wasn't in the recipe so for some reason I didn't season the chicken.
