Marinating the Chicken

Start by marinating the chicken in a blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. The longer you marinate, the more intense the flavors will be. Aim for at least 30 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the chicken.

While the chicken marinates, prepare the spice blend. Mix cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Adjust the ratios to suit your spice preferences.

Cooking the Chicken

Cook the marinated chicken on a grill or stovetop pan until it’s fully cooked and has a beautiful char. Ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Assembling the Sandwich

Toast the whole-grain sandwich buns, then spread a dollop of yogurt sauce on each side. Place the cooked chicken on the bun and top it with fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
