Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, garlic powder, salt, ground black pepper, and the juice of 1 lemon. Whisk until you achieve a smooth and well-combined marinade.
- Take your boneless, skinless chicken thighs and coat them generously in the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-covered, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken to a resealable bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Place it in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, but overnight will yield even juicier results.
- About 20 minutes before you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or fire up the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator, and spread it out evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or place it directly on the preheated grill. Cook the chicken for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes on a cutting board. After resting, slice it and serve with warm pita, fresh veggies, and your favorite sauces.

Notes
For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Storing cooked chicken in an airtight container maintains freshness for up to 3 days in the fridge.
