15 - 1 large cucumber, diced
16 - 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
17 - 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor penetration.
02 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until well browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl until smooth. Add water gradually to reach desired drizzling consistency.
04 - Divide salad greens evenly among four bowls. Arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley on top of the greens. Place sliced chicken over the vegetables.
05 - Drizzle garlic sauce generously over each bowl. Serve immediately while chicken is still warm. Optional: serve with warm pita bread on the side.
