8 servings

  • 0.25 cup plain yogurt
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice
  • 0.25 cup canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, or as needed

Instructions

  • Combine yogurt, lemon juice, 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, paprika, cumin, and oregano in a large glass or ceramic bowl; mix well. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil in batches until tender and browned, about 5 minutes per batch. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
