Tahini-Yogurt Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Himalayan salt and pepper
To serve
  • 5-6 homemade pita bread (or bought)
  • 1 cup mixed organic greens
  • 1 cup kale
  • 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 6 oz cherry/grape tomatoes, sliced
  • dill, parsley, chives, mint

Equipment

  • 12 x 18 inch baking dish or baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Can make ahead: Mix together the tahini-yogurt sauce in a small bowl. Set aside or refrigerator until ready to serve.
  2. Preheat oven 400℉ and line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Mix the spices into a bowl and add the chicken pieces.
  3. Spread the chicken thigh pieces on the baking sheet. Coat the onion and peppers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes and once the chicken is golden and the onions and peppers are tender and roasted, then remove from oven. (You don't want the chicken pieces to over cook and dry out)
  4. Arrange the chicken pieces, onions, peppers on a pita or plate of rice. Add the peppers and onions, then the vegetables, herbs and serve with tahini-yogurt sauce. Enjoy!
