Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams boneless chicken thighs
- 120 grams full-fat Greek yogurt
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 30 ml olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 100 grams mixed greens or lettuce
- 0.5 cucumber, sliced
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for the flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange marinated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
To serve, place a bed of mixed greens or lettuce on a plate, add slices of cucumber and cherry tomatoes, and top with a generous portion of grilled chicken doner.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy your low-carb chicken doner kebab!
