Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
