Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 1.5 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Yogurt Tahini Sauce

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Water to thin

Bowl Toppings

  • Cooked rice
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Cucumber
  • Pickled red onion

Instructions
 

  • Add spices, salt, garlic, lemon and olive oil to a large bowl or container and whisk to combine. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the fridge overnight or at least 3 hours.
  • Make the yogurt tahini sauce by whisking all the ingredients together in a bowl. Add water as needed to reach desired consistency. Taste and adjust lemon or salt to taste.
  • Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and preheat oven to 425F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Place the chicken thighs (along with any marinade) onto the baking sheet in an even layer (do not overcrowd). Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through (165 degrees F). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Assemble bowls: Add rice, greens, veggies, chicken and any other toppings to a bowl. Add the yogurt tahini and enjoy!
