Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 wedges lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the preheated grill.

Step 5

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Adjust cooking time as needed based on the thickness of the thighs.

Step 6

Once grilled, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Pair with rice, flatbread, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
