Lebanese Chicken Tawook with High-Protein Toum
Method
Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, whisk the 2 tablespoons of yogurt, lemon juice, tomato paste, crushed garlic, and spices together, then coat the chicken cubes completely and marinate for 30 minutes.
Whip Toum: Whisk the remaining yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, protein isolate, and olive oil until smooth and fluffy, then chill in the fridge.
Grill Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto wooden skewers and grill in a hot griddle pan or under the broiler for 5–6 minutes per side until deeply charred and cooked through.
Assemble Plate: Serve the piping-hot skewers immediately alongside a generous dollop of the cooled high-protein garlic toum.
Nutritional Insight: This pure, high-density lean protein matrix maximizes metabolic thermogenesis and preserves essential muscle tissue while keeping blood sugar completely flat to stop food noise. Culinary Hack: Soak your wooden skewers in cold water for 20 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent them from catching fire and splitting during high-heat grilling.
