Ingredients
Scale

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill or in a baking tray. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. Then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Serve the sliced chicken on a platter and drizzle generously with the creamy green sauce.
