Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Tahini
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, water, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Serve the chicken doner with sliced red onions, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and a generous sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the chicken and vegetables before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Chicken Doner!
