    Ingredients

    ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt

    4 cloves garlic (grated or minced)

    1 lemon (zest and juice)

    1 teaspoon kosher salt

    1 teaspoon cumin

    1 teaspoon onion powder

    ½ teaspoon sweet paprika

    ½ teaspoon turmeric

    ½ teaspoon black pepper

    ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

    ¼ - 1 teaspoon red pepper flake (spice preference)

    6 medium boneless skinless chicken thighs (or 3 boneless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise)

    3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

    ½ cup red onion (thinly sliced)

    1 beefsteak tomato (sliced)

    4 large Pita flatbreads (optional for serving)

    tzatziki (optional for serving)

    Directions

    In a large bowl combine yogurt, garlic, lemon, salt, cumin, onion powder, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon & red pepper flakes. Add chicken & coat completely. Marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes but up to overnight (do not recommend going beyond 36 hours as the yogurt will begin to break down the chicken).

    Air Fryer Method:

    Air fry chicken thighs in an even layer 400°F for 20 to 24 minutes, flipping halfway in a single layer, in batches as needed.

    Skillet or Grill Method:

    Head a skillet or grill/grill pan over medium-high heat and spray with oil. Cook the chicken about 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway.

    Serve

    When done, transfer to a cutting board and slice. Build pita sandwiches or serve over salad with sliced chicken, 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, onion, 1 slice tomato and tzatziki, if desired.
