Ingredients
Chicken:
- 10-12 Chicken Thighs Boneless, Skinless, Cut into Chunks
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Dried Ground Cumin
- 1 Teaspoon Dried Ground Coriander

- 1 Tablespoon Tahini Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice

Instructions
- Mix olive oil, cumin, coriander, and garlic together to form a thick paste. Evenly coat chicken pieces with paste. Season well with salt and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
- Mix together the yogurt, tahini paste, and lemon juice (make sure you get all the tahini well mixed in or you will have lumpy sauces that aren't pleasant. I use my stick blender). If you prefer a thinner sauce you can add water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken on both sides until there is no longer any pink. About 10 minutes on a hot, charcoal grill. (you can also cook under a preheated broiler).
- Serve the chicken with steamed pitas, veggies and sauce. Sooo YUM!
