Its no secret that the Witch adores Mediterranean and middle eastern foods & flavors. There's just something about smooth creamy hummus and warm pitas that make my heart happy. When you add highly seasoned and grilled meats into the mix, it just becomes a symphony of flavors that make my heart sing. Cumin, lemon, garlic, oh my!
Greek style grilled chicken thighs
makes 2-3 servings
juice of 1 lemon
1 t oregano
2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
1/2 t coriander seed ground
1/2 t ground cumin seed
3/4 t kosher salt
1/4 t pepper
pinch cinnamon
1 T olive oil
1 lb chicken, thighs or breasts, boned & skinned
Mix everything but the chicken together in a bowl. Add the chicken and marinade for 1-2 hours.
Grill over high heat until internal temperature of 165F is reached. Remove chicken and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with feta cheese if desired.
If you don't have an indoor grill or access to an outdoor one you can also just cook these in a sautee pan, simply add a little oil to the hot pan & cook.

These look like the perfect summer meal! You are so right about needing some summer in the dark days of winter!
I love summer on my plate in winter...there really is nothing better!! This looks so good, Andrea! I love the flavors of lemon, garlic, and oregano together! YUM!
I'm always looking for great recipes that incorporate Chicken Thighs instead of only ones that use chicken breast. I just made a BLT the other day because I wanted some summer in my life too!
I'm in for this chicken, all earthy flavours first click is drool worthy!
Your recipes are great. Especially lately.
Wow, I was saw this link from your lemon and garlic rice, I am making this complete meal next week!
