Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pita bread or rice for serving
- Fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, etc.) for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken, cumin, paprika, turmeric, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mix yogurt and lemon juice together to make the garlic sauce.
- Once the chicken is done, slice it thinly.
- Serve the chicken in pita bread, over rice, or in a salad bowl, drizzled with garlic sauce and topped with fresh vegetables.
Notes
Marinate longer for deeper flavor. Pat the chicken dry before roasting for a better crust. For charred edges, finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
