Instructions

Combine olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor penetration.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Divide cooked brown rice or quinoa evenly among 4 bowls. Arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red cabbage, red onion, salad greens, and fresh parsley in sections over the grain base.
Whisk together Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and water in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adding more water if needed for desired consistency.
Top each bowl with hot sliced chicken. Drizzle generously with tahini yogurt sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
