Description

A vibrant bowl featuring marinated grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and creamy tahini sauce—perfect for quick dinners or festive gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • Tahini sauce
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Fresh mint, chopped


Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper for at least one hour.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F/190°C) and lightly oil the grates.
  3. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F/75°C).
  4. While the chicken grills, whisk tahini paste with lemon juice and water until smooth.
  5. Chop tomatoes and cucumbers, mixing with parsley and mint.
  6. After resting the grilled chicken, slice it thinly against the grain.
  7. Assemble bowls with rice or pita topped with veggies and tahini sauce.

Notes
