Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create a marinade. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to absorb flavors.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken breasts from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside has light grill marks.
  3. Step 3: While chicken cooks, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp harissa paste and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate until serving.
  4. Step 4: Serve grilled chicken breasts topped with a generous dollop of the harissa yogurt sauce for a refreshing, spicy contrast.
