Categories     Sauce     Chicken     Roast     Low Fat

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
4 bone-in, skinless chicken breast halves (10 to 12 ounces each)
2 Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F. In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of the yogurt, the garlic, turmeric, ginger, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken; turn to coat.
  • Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast (avoiding the bone) registers 160°F, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel the apple; coarsely grate into a medium bowl. Add the cilantro and the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt; season with salt and pepper. Serve the sauce alongside the chicken, with rice, if desired.
