Tandoori-Style Chicken Breasts

By Derrick Riches, About.com

These grilled chicken breasts are loaded with flavor, but not fat. By basting with the marinade during the grilling you keep the flavor on and the chicken moist.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation:

Mix together everything but the chicken in a bowl. Cut breasts in half lengthwise and place in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours covered. Preheat grill. Remove chicken from dish reserving the marinade. Grill 15-20 minutes over a medium heat, brushing with remaining marinade frequently. Great served over rice. About 4 grams fat per serving. 1 breast per serving.
