Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Garlic Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve:
Slice the cooked chicken and serve it warm with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with fresh parsley. This dish pairs well with pita bread, rice, or a fresh salad.
