Ingredients
Method
- Combine olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper, salt, garlic, and lemon juice in a large bowl to create a fragrant spice marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs and toss until every piece is well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Cover the bowl and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes so the spices penetrate the meat.
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Cook the rice in a pot with water over medium heat until tender and fluffy, about 15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken until browned on the outside and fully cooked inside, releasing a rich, smoky aroma.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and slice it into bite-sized strips once slightly cooled.
- In a small bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, tahini, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the warm rice into serving bowls, creating a soft and fluffy base for the toppings.
- Arrange sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley over the rice, then drizzle generously with the creamy yogurt sauce.
