Ingredients

Moroccan Chicken

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
2 lemons sliced thin
1/4 cup butter softened
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
8 pitas or Arabic flatbreads for serving

Tahini Sauce

1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 lemon juiced
2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch black pepper

How To Prepare

Moroccan Chicken

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Lay half the lemon slices out to create a bed for the chicken. Place the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, paprika, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Spread the mixture over the tops of the chicken breasts.
Lay the remaining lemon slices over the chicken. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Slice and serve hot or cold with tahini sauce and desired toppings.

Tahini Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

We recommend serving gyros with shredded purple or green cabbage, sliced bell pepper, sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and roughly chopped cilantro.
