Sometimes referred to as tandoori chicken, this Indian chicken is marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices and traditionally cooked in either a clay oven (tandoor) or grilled. We grilled the flavorful chicken on skewers and found it paired well with jasmine or basmati rice.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
cooking spray
8 lime wedges
1/4 cup mango chutney
Directions:
1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat well. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours.
2. Soak 12 (6-inch) wooden skewers in water 30 minutes.
3. Prepare grill.
4. Thread chicken pieces evenly onto skewers. Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 12 to 13 minutes or until done, turning once. Serve with lime wedges and mango chutney.
