Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 150 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 almond flour flatbreads, optional
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat a grill pan or barbecue to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad by combining diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
For the tahini sauce, mix tahini with water until smooth. Adjust the consistency to your liking.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Arrange the sliced chicken on a platter alongside the fresh salad and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
Serve with almond flour flatbreads for a complete keto meal, if desired.
