Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground coriander, black pepper, salt, minced garlic, and the juice of one lemon.
- Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, turning them to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken to a zip-top bag, squeezing out excess air. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat your grill pan or oven to medium-high heat (about 425°F). Cook the marinated chicken thighs for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. For oven-roasting, arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once for even cooking.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
- In a small bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, grated garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well-blended. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
- To serve, take warm pita or flatbread, layer on the sliced chicken, add fresh vegetables, and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce. Enjoy as a wrap, in a rice bowl, or alongside a fresh salad.

Notes
Preparing the garlic sauce a day ahead enhances its flavor. Adjust spices as per your preference for a customized taste.
