An easy Grilled Chicken Breasts recipe

Categories     Chicken     Marinate     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Yogurt     Mint     Spice     Summer     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 cups plain yogurt (18 oz; preferably whole-milk)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (2 1/4 to 2 1/2 lb total)
1 cup small fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons minced shallot

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt, and spices, then add chicken and turn until coated well. Marinate at room temperature 20 minutes.
  • While chicken is marinating, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
  • While grill is heating, whisk together remaining 1 1/4 cups yogurt and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and salt to taste.
  • Grill chicken (discard marinade), covered only if using gas grill, on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over occasionally, until just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a platter.
  • Toss together mint, shallot, and remaining tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Drizzle chicken with yogurt sauce and top with mint salad.

CHICKEN CONQUISTADOR

You will have fun cooking this one. It does not require much effort unless you skimp and buy bone-in thighs. De-boning thighs can be a real pain, especially if the knife slips. So use boneless, skinless thighs and/or breasts. You will need bacon slices, a Can of Ortega whole chilies, toothpicks, and your chicken pieces. You can up the ante on this one with a jalapeno or habanero pepper at your own risk, but first remove the seeds

Time 1h50m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup apple juice
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
6 slices bacon
6 toothpicks
ortega whole chile

Steps:

  • Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces.
  • Rub each with a small quantity of Green Mountain "South of the Border" Spice Rub.
  • Place a chili on each of the chicken pieces.
  • Wrap each of them up in a piece of bacon and spike in place with a toothpick. I've heard the rumor for years that the dye in toothpicks of color will harm you, but I figure the FDA would never let that happen. Plus, there would be a whole lot of people in the hospital suffering from TDS (Toothpick Dye Syndrome) and somehow word of this would have gotten out. So use the they are a lot stouter than the regular ones, and they're much easier to find when you drop yours on the ground!
  • You've thought ahead on this one and already have your grill going and stabilized at 275°C.
  • Put the chicken pieces on the grate and cook for 80-90 minutes or until done. Turn the pieces a few times while they cook and spritz with apple juice when you do. The bacon usually finishes at the same time as the chicken unless you've skimped again and bought bacon so thin you can shave with it.
