- A dash of fresh lemon juice
- Cumin (to taste)
- Garlic granules
- Salt
- Turmeric
- Mixed spice
- Ground ginger

Instructions
-
In a large bowl, place the chicken pieces and add all the mentioned spices, the Greek yogurt, and a dash of lemon juice.
-
Mix all the ingredients with the chicken thoroughly until every piece is coated in the marinade.
-
Prepare a large piece of aluminum foil, spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then place the marinated chicken in the middle.
-
Wrap the aluminum foil tightly around the chicken to keep all the juices and flavors inside during cooking.
-
Place the wrapped chicken in the Slow Cooker and cook until fully tender.
Golden Tip for Irresistible Color and Flavor: After taking the chicken out of the slow cooker, baste it with its own juices, add a drizzle of honey, and place it in a very hot oven for 10 minutes.
To Serve
After browning the chicken, slice or shred it. Serve it hot in a tortilla or pita bread with slices of red onion, cucumber, and your favorite yogurt sauce. Enjoy!
