CHICKEN PARADISE

Juicy, golden chicken pieces are seasoned with a bold blend of herbs and spices, then cooked with sweet onions until beautifully caramelized. Served over crisp lettuce with fresh vegetables, lemon wedges, and a creamy dipping sauce, this Chicken Paradise is packed with fresh, savory flavor in every bite.

INGREDIENTS:

For the Chicken:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium onion, sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional

For Serving:

4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, chopped
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Creamy Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp black pepper
Salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.

2. Marinate:
Toss the chicken thoroughly until every piece is coated with the seasoning mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, marinate for up to 4 hours.

3. Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste and add salt if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

4. Cook the Onions:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 4–6 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

5. Cook the Chicken:
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet with the onions. Cook for 8–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is deeply browned on the outside and cooked through.

6. Build the Salad:
Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce on a large serving platter. Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh parsley.

7. Add the Chicken:
Pile the hot, seasoned chicken and caramelized onions generously over the fresh salad.

8. Finish:
Drizzle with the creamy sauce or serve it on the side. Add fresh parsley and plenty of lemon wedges for squeezing over the chicken.

9. Serve:
Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and juicy. Spoon the creamy sauce over each serving and enjoy!

NOTES:

Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work especially well because they stay juicy while developing a beautiful browned exterior.

Extra Char: For a more grilled flavor, cook the chicken in a very hot skillet or grill pan and avoid overcrowding the pan.

Sauce: Add more lemon juice for extra brightness or a pinch of cayenne for additional heat.

Serving: Warm pita bread, rice, roasted potatoes, or grilled vegetables make excellent additions.

Storage: Store the cooked chicken and salad separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
