Main Ingredients

1 1/8 lb (500 grams) Boneless chicken thighs

4 cloves Garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Ginger, grated

7/8 cup (200 ml) Yogurt

2 tablespoons ReaLemon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon Cumin powder

1 teaspoon Coriander powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 bunch Fresh cilantro, chopped

Optional Sides

1 1/8 lb (500 grams) Basmati Rice

3 1/2 oz (100 grams) Mixed Salad Greens

4 pieces Pita bread

Method

Marination

Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, mix together the minced garlic, grated ginger, yogurt, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder to create a marinade.

Marinate the Chicken

Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.

Cooking

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Cook the Chicken

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice golden brown color.

Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve hot with optional sides like basmati rice, mixed salad greens, and pita bread.
