Marinade Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until well-blended to create a vibrant, aromatic marinade.
- Add the chicken into the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-coated, then cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Cooking
- Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, adding a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the garlic sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, minced garlic, additional lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl until smooth.
- Remove cooked chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice into strips and serve warm in pita bread or on a plate with fresh veggies, drizzled with garlic sauce.
Nutrition
Notes
For best flavor, allow chicken to marinate longer. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
