  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For a vegetarian version, consider using tempeh or chickpeas. You can also try tahini sauce in place of yogurt for a vegan option.
