Halal Food Cart inspired chicken served over a big salad of lettuce and tomatoes drizzled with a yummy white sauce.

INGREDIENTS For the chicken:

• 24 ounces about 4 large boneless, skinless chicken thighs, fat trimmed

• Juice of 1/2 lemon

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon oregano

• 3/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

White Yogurt Sauce (makes 1 1/4 cups):

• 1 cup Stonyfield Whole Milk Yogurt with Probiotics

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For the Salad:

• 6 cups chopped iceberg or romaine lettuce

• 2 medium tomatoes, quartered

• 1/2 small red onion, sliced

• prepared mild harissa, optional for drizzling

INSTRUCTIONS

• Season the chicken with lemon juice, garlic, cumin, oil, salt and spices. Set aside at least 15 minutes, or as long as overnight.

• Combine the ingredients for the white yogurt sauce and refrigerate.

• When ready to cook, heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the chicken and leave until the bottom is completely browned, about 5 minutes before flipping.

• Cook on the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes, until browned.

• Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken continue cooking, about 10 minutes, until just about cooked through in the thickest parts (no worries if it’s not completely cooked).

• Set aside on a cutting board and chop the chicken into thin strips and add back to the pan to brown and finish cooking, 8 to 10 minutes over medium heat.

• Assemble the salad by dividing the lettuce, tomato and red onion.

• Top with chicken and drizzle with yogurt sauce (this is your dressing) and harissa, if desired.
