Salad Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breast and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt, if desired.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve it over the prepared salad. Warm the pita bread, if desired, and serve on the side.
