Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup plain unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 4 units pita bread or rice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, allspice, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and coconut yogurt. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the chicken.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 5
If using skewers, thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked and have a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Meanwhile, chop the fresh parsley leaves finely.
Step 9
Serve the Dairy-Free Chicken Taouk with a sprinkle of sumac and fresh parsley on top, accompanied by pita bread or rice, as per your preference.
