Best Fast Tandoori Chicken Recipes
FAST TANDOORI CHICKEN
Here's a dead-simple weeknight meal that Mark Bittman came up with at the dawn of the century for fast tandoori chicken - chicken quickly marinated in yogurt and spices, then run under the broiler for less than 10 minutes. The whole process takes about an hour, but the active cooking time is around 20 minutes in total, and it makes for a delicious family meal when served with Basmati rice and some sautéed spinach.

Steps:
- Heat broiler or grill. Combine yogurt, ginger, garlic, paprika, coriander, half the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Dredge chicken in yogurt mixture and marinate 5 to 60 minutes, as time allows.
- If you're broiling, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Put chicken breasts on pan, underside facing up; reserve marinade that does not cling to breasts. Broil 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Turn chicken, and spoon remaining marinade over. Broil on smooth side another 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Garnish, add remaining lime juice over chicken and serve, spooning the cooked marinade over the meat and, if you're serving it, over rice.
- If grilling, cut marinade by half. Cook 3 to 4 minutes a side, until chicken browns and is cooked through, at times brushing with marinade. Garnish, add lime, serve.

FAST TANDOORI CHICKEN
Although it's not cooked in a Tandoor, it's still chicken marinated in yogurt and spices and grilled. I think this is probably close enough for the home chef looking for something a bit different. Marinating time can be as little as 5 minutes, so it makes for a very quick meal.
