Marinated Lemon Chicken Loaf

Succulent chicken thighs marinated in yogurt, lemon, and tomato paste, then pressed into a loaf pan for roasting. This technique creates a dense, kebab-like texture that slices beautifully. Seasoned with thyme, garlic, and Urfa pepper for a Middle Eastern flair. Juicy, flavorful, and unique. Great for sandwiches or salads.
