Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Ground paprika
- 1 tsp Ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 large Pita breads
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for optimal flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, water, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Adjust consistency by adding more water if needed.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion on a large serving platter.
Top the veggies with sliced grilled chicken, then drizzle with tahini sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with warm pita bread on the side.
