Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pita bread
  • Fresh vegetables (tomato, cucumber, lettuce)
  • Tahini sauce or garlic sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, plain yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken thighs in the mixture, covering the bowl and allowing it to marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results).
  3. Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Grill or bake the marinated chicken for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and charred.
  5. Rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
  6. Assemble the sliced chicken in pita bread with fresh vegetables and sauces.

Notes

Marinate longer for deeper flavors and feel free to adjust spice levels. Leftover chicken can be used in salads or wraps.
