Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- Yogurt (for serving)
- Pita bread or rice (for serving)
- Fresh vegetables (e.g., lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, for serving)
Instructions
- Mix olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl until they form a fragrant marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in your slow cooker and pour the spice mixture over the chicken, ensuring every piece gets coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or for a quicker option, on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken becomes tender and shreds easily.
- Shred the chicken with two forks, allowing the spices to mingle beautifully with the fibers of the meat.
- Serve warmly in pita bread or over rice, topped with yogurt and accompanied by fresh vegetables.
Notes
For juicier results, use bone-in chicken thighs. Don’t skip the marinating stage for maximum flavor.
