Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    While the chicken is cooking, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, toss the mixed greens with your favorite salad dressing. Serve alongside the chicken and rice.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the grilled chicken with a side of rice and mixed green salad. Optionally serve with fries.
