This recipe is definitely for the diet-conscious, as it uses skinless chicken and low-fat plain yogurt. That would be very nice to hear, because most of us who are dieting don’t eat too much even though it looks so yummy and delicious. Now you don’t have to crave for unhealthy tasty food as you can try this recipe if you want. So here are the instructions on how to cook grilled chicken with Indian spices.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt or low-fat plain yogurt

• 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice

• 4 teaspoons of garam masala

• 2 teaspoons of paprika

• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 10 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

Cook the food:

1. In a bowl, mix the low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Mix them until they are completely combined so that the flavor is not unusual.

2. When you are done with the marinade, place them evenly in 2 large resealable plastic bags. You will use them to marinate the chicken.

3. Place the 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a plastic bag and place the other 5 in another plastic bag. Seal bags and flip to coat evenly. Put the bags in the refrigerator. It would be nice if the bags have been laid flat in the refrigerator so that the marinade is evenly absorbed by the chicken. The marinating process should be at least 2 hours or, if you prefer, overnight. You can even try marinating it for a day, so you can be ready at any time.

4. Prepare the grill and heat it up. If you are using an electric grill, turn it on to medium-high heat. If you don’t have an electric grill, you can use a regular grill instead.

5. Take the bags out of the fridge and discard the excess marinade, you won’t need it. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chicken meat.

6. When the chicken is cooked, place it on a clean plate. You can now serve it and if you want, you can add some vegetables as a garnish.
