I love chicken, but get sick of making the same old recipes. I think I found this one in Food Network magazine...but I can't be sure. It has great flavor and is really easy to do. It can be served alone with rice or with a simple yogurt sauce. Both are delicious.
Ingredients:
4 to 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp.vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. plain or Greek yogurt
1/2 small red onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tsp. tomato paste
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. paprika (or hot paprika)
juice of 1 lemon
S/P
cooked rice for serving
Directions:
Preheat the oven broiler. Make shallow cuts in the chicken with a sharp knife. Toss chicken with lemon juice and salt in a large bowl. In a food processor, pulse 2 Tbsp. plain yogurt, the vegetable oil, onion, garlic, tomato paste, coriander, cumin, paprika and salt to make a paste. Toss the chicken in the mixture and let marinate for 15 minutes.
Place the chicken on a foil-lined broiler pan. Broil, turning once until slightly charred and cooked through. (The more sauce/paste that is one the chicken the longer it will take to "char" - mine didn't really "char", but the chicken was cooked through and the paste was hot!).
Yogurt sauce:
Mix 1/2 cup of plain or Greek yogurt with 2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro and sprinkle with salt and paprika. This sauce is good on the chicken and the rice.
