Print Recipe
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 6 6-oz. boneless skinless chicken breast halves butterflied
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 cup low fat plain yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander or use Garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest plus additional for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro plus additional for garnish
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate chicken overnight or for at least 1 hour (see recipe). Place chicken in a zipper-topped plastic bag. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour mixture over chicken.
  • Seal bag and refrigerate overnight or for at least 1 hour. Preheat grill to MEDIUM. Lightly oil the grill grate then remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess and discarding marinade and bag.
  • Grill chicken over indirect heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until juices run clear. Watch carefully to prevent burning! To serve, top chicken with a little more lime zest and chopped cilantro, if desired.
