CHICKEN
1 lb chicken breast
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium lemon
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
GARLIC YOGURT SAUCE
7 ounces Greek yogurt, 2% (I like Fage)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon parsley, Chopped

1
Place the chicken breasts, 1 at a time, in a Ziploc bag. Pound each breast to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch thick, being careful not to puncture the bag. Place pounded chicken breasts back into bag and set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice. Whisk until combined. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, curry powder, cinnamon, red pepper, salt and black pepper and whisk again.
3
Pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken, massaging it to evenly coat. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
4
In a small bowl (or right in the container), combine the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.
5
Over medium-high heat, grill the chicken for 3 minutes or until it no longer sticks to the grill. Turn the chicken and grill an additional 3-4 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes then slice it thinly, across the grain. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons sauce and a sprinkle of parsley. Serve.
