# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
02 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken thighs 5 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely charred. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
03 - In a large bowl, combine diced tomatoes, cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently and set aside.
04 - Mix tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more water as needed to achieve a pourable texture.
05 - Arrange salad on plates, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle generously with tahini dressing. Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
