Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3.5 ounces mixed salad greens
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 7 ounces plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Marinade: Combine olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken to the spice mixture and coat evenly. Allow to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes, extending up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor development.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked with light charring. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  4. Assemble the Salad Base: Combine cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, salad greens, and fresh parsley in a large bowl.
  5. Prepare the Yogurt Dressing: Whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  6. Compose and Serve: Divide salad mixture among serving plates, arrange sliced chicken on top, and drizzle generously with yogurt dressing.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken for longer if time allows.
  • You can use any mixed salad greens of your choice.
  • Adjust seasoning in the yogurt dressing according to your taste preferences.
