# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor development.
02 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until deeply browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, finely grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl. Add water gradually to achieve desired consistency.
04 - Divide mixed salad greens evenly among four bowls. Layer tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley on each bed of greens. Arrange sliced chicken on top.
05 - Drizzle garlic sauce over each bowl and serve immediately.
