Instructions
For the chicken, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, garlic, coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Place the chicken in a shallow dish or in a gallon-size ziploc bag. Add the marinade and rub over the chicken to make sure each piece is coated. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
For the yogurt sauce, whisk together all the ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use (can be made up to several days in advance).
For the cabbage, place the cabbage and parsley in a large bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice (or vinegar), salt and pepper. Pour over the cabbage and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve (can be made several hours in advance). Season to taste with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Preheat an outdoor grill (see recipe note for cooking in an oven) to medium- or medium-high. Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees at the thickest part of the chicken. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes or so before slicing.
Serve the chicken with the flatbread, yogurt sauce, cabbage slaw, diced tomatoes and cucumbers.
Notes
Nutrition Facts:the nutrition facts for this recipe were calculated based on the chicken, cabbage, and yogurt sauce (but do not include the "for serving" ingredients as those are added based on personal preference). Chicken:this chicken could easily be cooked inside in a skillet on the stove or using an oven broiler (preheat to high, making sure an oven rack is 4-5 inches away from the heating element - place the chicken on a foil-lined, greased baking sheet and broil, watching closely, for several minutes per side until cooked through). Flatbread: here is my favorite homemade flatbread.
