Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for the flavors to meld.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
Arrange marinated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
To serve, place a bed of mixed greens or lettuce on a plate, add slices of cucumber and cherry tomatoes, and top with a generous portion of grilled chicken doner.
