Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Black pepper
  • 3 jalapeños
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 green onions (chopped (green parts only))
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  2. Marinate the chicken thighs in the mixture for at least 30 minutes or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. While grilling, blend jalapeños, cilantro, garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until smooth to create the creamy green sauce.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken drizzled with the sauce or as a dip.
