Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless chicken thighs
- 100 g Greek yogurt, full fat
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 Lettuce leaves, for serving

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over it. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the rack, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F). Turn halfway to ensure even cooking.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken thinly.
To serve, place the sliced chicken on a lettuce leaf and top with sliced tomato, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
