07 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
08 - 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
09 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
10 - 1/2 tsp chili powder
11 - 3/4 tsp salt
12 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Salad
13 - 6 cups mixed salad greens
14 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
15 - 1 large cucumber, diced
16 - 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
17 - 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

18 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
19 - 1 clove garlic, finely grated
20 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
21 - 1 tbsp olive oil
22 - 1/4 tsp salt
23 - 1 tbsp water
# Directions:
01 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor development.
02 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side until well browned and cooked through. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, finely grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until well combined. Add water gradually to achieve desired consistency.
04 - Divide mixed salad greens evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and fresh parsley. Arrange sliced chicken pieces over the vegetables.
05 - Drizzle each bowl generously with prepared garlic sauce. Serve immediately while chicken is still warm.
