Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a bowl to make the garlic sauce.
  5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve the sliced chicken with garlic sauce drizzled over, along with pita bread and fresh veggies if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
