Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup avocado oil
  • 2 medium lemons, juiced
  • 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 0.5 cup tahini
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 0.25 cup water, or more as needed
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced
  • sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 head romaine lettuce
  • 0.5 medium head butter lettuce
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.5 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 medium English cucumber, seeded and sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, cumin, paprika, kosher salt, turmeric, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  • In a large resealable bag, combine chicken thighs and marinade. Massage the marinade into the chicken until well coated, remove excess air, seal, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Transfer the chicken from the marinade to a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring to pour all leftover marinade over the chicken.
  • Roast in the oven until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow to rest, then slice into 1/2-inch strips.
  • In a blender, combine tahini, olive oil, 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for dressing. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed for desired thickness.
  • Combine freshly chopped romaine and butter lettuces with parsley and mint in a large bowl. Layer tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion over the herb salad. Add chicken on top and drizzle with dressing according to your preference. Enjoy promptly.
