Combine the parsley, salt, red pepper flakes, ginger, cumin, and coriander in a large bowl and mix to combine.  Stir in the yogurt, lemon juice and garlic cloves.  Add the chicken to the bowl and stir to coat.  Let sit in the refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour, or overnight.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Working in batches, add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet.  You don't want to overcrowd the pan so the chicken can brown.  Cook the chicken, stirring frequently, for about 6 minutes or until browned and cooked through.  Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels.  Put some more oil in the pan and repeat the process until all the chicken is cooked.    

In a salad bowl, mix the lemon vinaigrette.  Add the cleaned lettuce leaves, the cucumbers, tomatoes and chicken.  Mix to combine.
