Tandoori Chicken
Prep: 15 min, Marinate: 4:00, Cook: 20 min.
  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. turmeric
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. fresh ginger root, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. curry powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder
  • 3/4 cup lowfat yogurt

Make deep diagonal cuts in the chicken. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix together next 9 ingredients in a bowl. Mix in the yogurt. Coat chicken completely with the tandoori mixture. Place in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Place chicken on a preheated grill, brushing with extra tandoori mixture. Turn frequently until chicken is tender and juice runs clear, about 12-14 minutes. Remove, cover with foil, and continue cooking until the chicken is slightly blackened, about 5-10 more minutes.
