Yogurt Tahini Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Step 1:
In a bowl, whisk yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices until smooth.

Step 2:
Add chicken and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 3:
Heat a skillet or oven to medium heat (or preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C).

Step 4:
Cook chicken in a skillet for 6–7 minutes per side, or bake for 30–35 minutes until cooked through.

Step 5:
Spoon extra sauce over chicken while cooking for added creaminess.

Step 6:
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
