Serves 6

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs), cut into 1-inch chunks

• 3 tbsp avocado oil

• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed red wine vinegar

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 3 tbsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)

• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For Serving (Optional):

• Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

• Whole wheat pita or gluten-free wraps

• Lemon potatoes or rice

• Tzatziki sauce or plain Greek yoghurt

• Fresh veggies: cucumber, tomato, red onion, lettuce

Instructions

1. Make the Marinade:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together avocado oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken:
   Place chicken chunks in a large zip-top bag or glass container. Pour marinade over the chicken, toss to coat thoroughly, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

3. Cook the Chicken:
   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange marinated chicken on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30–35 minutes until fully cooked.
   Alternatively, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat with a light brush of avocado oil. Grill chicken pieces 6–8 minutes per side until golden brown, slightly charred, and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. Serve & Enjoy:
   Let chicken rest a few minutes after cooking. Serve with pita or wraps, lemon potatoes or rice, fresh veggies, and a dollop of tzatziki or Greek yogurt. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
