This chicken was really good! I only marinated for about two hours (that was all the time I had), skipped the tomato paste and allspice because I didn't have any. I sauteed the chicken in a pan and omitted the onion and green pepper because I wasn't making kebabs. This went well with hummus, lentil soup, pita bread, and fattoush.

Delicious! Didn't change a thing. Next time I might add more garlic. Only marinated for 4 hours - would like to marinate longer if I have the time next time. My guy loved it!

OMG this recipe is the BOMB! Made it last night and now eating the few leftovers. Cardamon is expensive, cost me $10 but it was worth it to be able to make these kabobs at home. Followed the recipe to a T except for adding a little mint, cayenne, and turmeric; chicken was very tender, it does make a lot of sauce so next time I will just add more chicken. Served this with Tabbouleh III, Hummus III, and the Lebanese Garlic Sauce from this site. Had an awesome meal! No more need to drive 20 miles to the Lebanese restaurant.

This is a really great marinade! The chicken tastes just like what we get at our local Lebanese restaurant. I absolutely crave it sometimes!

This is great marinade for chicken. It is missing something though, I am of arab decent, and i have had this many times in arab countries, and it doesn't taste quite the same, but pretty darn close. I think I would add a little more salt, and some chilli powder. Otherwise great recipe....thanks a bunch, chicken was soooo tender!!

This was fantastic! We also served these with the yogurt dipping sauce, and ate sandwich style with pitas (also added diced tomatoes). What a light and refreshing meal - we will definitely be making this again.

I had eaten something similar at a local Lebanese restaurant and wanted to copy it, and this recipe was perfect! The chicken is SO flavorful, it's amazing! All three of my somewhat picky kids *loved* it, and it was really quick to put together the marinade.

So easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used my All-Clad grill pan (my favorite piece of cookware) since it was still snowing outside. The best is the charred pieces of marinade in the pan. So tasty!

This was exactely like our favorite Mediterranean restaurant. I tripled the sauce recipe to marinate the vegetables and add to the completed meal with rice. Yummy!!
