PREP TIME: 15min COOK TIME: 20min
Serves 5
Ingredients
1/2 cup lemon juice plus 2 teaspoons, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups small cauliflower florets
1 15-ounce can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 small red onion, sliced
1 cup chicken stock
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup parsley leaves
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed to remove liquid
Serve with rice and pita bread
Step 1
In a resealable plastic bag, combine ½ cup lemon juice, garlic, cumin, turmeric and cinnamon. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes
Step 2
Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip away. Sauté the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Step 3
To the same skillet, add the onions, cauliflower, and chickpeas. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the cauliflower starts to brown. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to the skillet and continue to simmer at medium-low heat until chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170 degrees F. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and sprinkle with parsley leaves.
Step 4
Before serving, combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, salt and remaining 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Serve Middle Eastern Skillet Chicken with rice, pita bread and Yogurt Cucumber sauce on the side.
