1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby spinach

1 ½ cups basmati rice

1.36 kg chicken thighs, boneless skinless

3 cloves garlic

1 ½ small pkgs grape tomatoes

3 lemons

⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt

black pepper

coriander, ground

cumin, ground

extra virgin olive oil

salt

tahini

turmeric, ground

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Peel and mince garlic; place in a large bowl.

Zest and juice half the lemons into the bowl with the garlic (reserve remaining lemons for later); add oil and spices. Whisk to combine the marinade.

Add chicken to the bowl with the marinade, turn to coat, and set aside.

Preheat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water.

Once the pan is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add rice and spices; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil.

Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir the mixture, cover the saucepan, and reduce heat to low. Cook rice until liquid is fully absorbed, 15-18 minutes. Once done, remove rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, juice remaining lemons into a small bowl; add yogurt, tahini, water, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine the tahini sauce and set aside.

Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the pan is hot, working in batches if necessary, add chicken and grill, flipping occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.

To serve, divide rice, chicken, tomatoes, and spinach between plates; drizzle with tahini sauce and enjoy!
