Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts or thigh meat
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and all spices—cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, and cinnamon. Mix well.
