Description

Paprika and cumin add deep flavor to this flavorful chicken. Serve with warm pita or naan, feta, and mint for an easy Persian inspired meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Olive oil, for cooking
  • Warm pita or naan bread, feta, and fresh mint leaves, for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinated chicken. Mix together garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, and salt in a medium bowl; add chicken and toss together until the chicken is evenly coated with the herbs and spices. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
  2. Prep oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Cook chicken. In an oven proof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add chicken pieces and sear on both sides (1- 2 minutes per side). Transfer skillet to the oven and cook until chicken is cooked through, 15–20 minutes. Serve with pita or naan bread, feta and mint.
