Chicken Shawarma Thighs with Garlic Sauce
Tender chicken thighs roasted in aromatic Middle Eastern spices, served with a zesty garlic yogurt sauce and a crisp, refreshing cucumber salad.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Ground cumin
1 tsp Smoked paprika
0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 cup Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated in the spice mixture.
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs in the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the exterior is charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the garlic sauce by whisking the Greek yogurt, minced garlic clove, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes, then toss them together in a separate bowl for a simple side salad.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the cucumber and tomato salad, then drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.
