Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs sliced into thin strips
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground turmeric
- 0.25 cup tahini paste well-stirred

Notes
Storage: Store leftover chicken and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make-ahead: You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance for deeper flavor. Substitution: For a lower-carb version, serve the chicken and tahini sauce over a bed of cauliflower rice or mixed greens.
