  • Total Time: 45
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cardamom
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add chicken thighs and mix well, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, and mint to make the toum.
Arrange grilled chicken, toum, and fresh salads on a plate and serve.

Notes

Marinate chicken for 2-4 hours for best flavor.
Chicken thighs can be substituted with breast for a leaner option.
Make the toum up to a day in advance and refrigerate.
Serve with pita bread or warm flatbreads for a more traditional touch.
