Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Requires marinating for at least 12 hours. Can substitute chicken breast fillets for boneless skinless chicken thighs; paprika for smoked paprika; iceberg lettuce for cos lettuce; and pita bread, flatbread, corn tortillas, or the book's "Easy flatbread" for Lebanese flatbread.

    This was excellent. Enjoyed the flavor blend. Beyond remembering to marinate it was an easy recipe.

    This was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. I doubled the yogurt sauce and would do so again.

    Probably one of my favourite recipes ever. Smoky, spicy and tasting indulgent while remaining fairly healthy. I must have made it at least a hundred times since discovering it on her blog several years ago. My husband isn't a fan of cardamom so I omit it, and I also ramp all the spices (using the set amount of spice for a smaller portion of chicken but cutting back on the salt). Several friends have asked for the recipe and I've since eaten it at their houses too! It's also works beautifully on the barbecue or as a veggie version using roasted cauliflower.

    Very flavourful marinade. Made nice wraps with salad and tatziki.

    This was good but not spectacular. Although I liked the marinade, it didn't blow me away with flavor. I will say, however, that I enjoyed the yogurt sauce made for the dish. This did make a lot of chicken -- about 4 servings worth which lasted me for a few days.

    I made 1/2 the marinade for 4 thighs (around 12 oz total) but a friend's emergency sidelined our dinner plans that day (ie I intended to make the flat breads etc) but no worries - we grilled the chicken late that night , it went into the fridge and we ate great sandwiches for 2 days using different breads, spreads & toppings. This chicken is very flavourful ( and I can't decide if other similar recipes I've made were better or not) and it will be made again with the flat breads for sure.

    This was a bit much by itself, but it made truly great sandwiches. The sandwiches were the chicken plus feta, mayo, cucumbers, and lettuce, and it was great.

    The chicken here is incredibly moist and delicious. Overall we liked this dinner but I am not sure I like it as much as the Smitten Kitchen Street Cart Chicken, which this reminds me of.

    Nicely spiced marinade. We grilled a red onion along with the chicken and served it along with the rest of the toppings. I would make this again.

  • Rinshin on January 28, 2023

    Very tasty. Added about 2 T evoo to yogurt sauce desiring extra richness and in addition to sliced lettuce topping, made a salad topping of cubed tomato, onion, and cucumber. To make it more lower carb, used carb balance spinach flour tortilla. Cooked chicken in the air fryer grill function producing perfect char.
