Marinated Chicken Recipe

Indian · Main course · 30 min total

This simple marinated chicken recipe yields juicy, flavorful chicken perfect for grilling or baking. The marinade combines yogurt, lemon, and spices for a tender and aromatic dish.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, turning to coat evenly. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
3. Preheat grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, oil the grates. If baking, line a baking sheet with foil.
4. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard remaining marinade.
5. Grill or bake chicken: Grill over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
6. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger to the marinade.
• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Serve with rice, salad, or in wraps.
