Shish Taouk Chicken Thighs with Mediterranean Eggplant Salad are a twist on traditional shish taouk grilled chicken kebabs. Instead of using chicken breasts for kebabs, this recipe uses tender chicken thighs that are marinated in yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika and cayenne pepper and then grilled to create a juicy, flavorful meal. Pair this with the Mediterranean Eggplant Salad, rice, pita bread and a big dollop of yogurt.
