Ingredients
  

For the Marinade

  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoons salt

For the Chicken and Peppers

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
  • 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 red or green chile pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sumac

For the Yogurt Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mint

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chicken pieces, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, and salt. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, slice the peppers, onion, chile, and mince the garlic.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, onion, and chile pepper. Sauté until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet over medium heat, sauté the marinated chicken pieces for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Finish the Dish: Add the sumac and sauté for 1 more minute. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet and cook together for 1 additional minute to combine flavors.
  • Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: Stir the dried mint into the Greek yogurt until well combined.
  • Serve: Serve the chicken and peppers over bulgur and top with a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
