Ingredients

  • โ€ข4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • โ€ข1/4 cup olive oil
  • โ€ข2 cloves garlic, minced
  • โ€ข1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • โ€ข1 tsp ground cumin
  • โ€ข1 tsp paprika
  • โ€ข1/2 tsp salt
  • โ€ข1/4 tsp black pepper
  • โ€ข1 cup couscous

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 10 minutes.

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and lemon slices if desired.
