Moroccan-Spiced Chicken with Millet Tabbouleh image

I'’m mixing metaphors a bit with this dish: —a little Moroccan inspired, a little Middle-Eastern inspired. But the thing is, the flavors taste delicious together. This twist on classic tabbouleh is wonderful paired with grilled seafood, meat, or tempeh, and it'’s great on its own too!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the chicken:
2 cups coconut yogurt, plain
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 pasture-raised chicken thighs
For the tabbouleh:
2 cups cooked millet
1/2 cup minced parsley
1/2 cup minced mint
1/4 cup minced dill
1 teaspoon iodized sea salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: In a large ziplock bag, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, orange zest, and spices. Add the chicken, and marinate for at least 1 hour. (If using tempeh, use the same marinade, but for 30 minutes.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a broiler pan or a sheet tray with wire rack by spraying with oil. Set aside.
  • Make the tabbouleh: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, and stir well. Let the flavors meld for at least 20 minutes (which is perfect, since you need that time to cook the chicken).
  • Remove chicken (or tempeh) from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. If your chicken has skin, place it skin-side down.
  • Bake the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, skin side up, until meat has reached 160°F and skin is crisp. Remove from heat, and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
