  1. The recipe sounds good, however i would not attempt to consume a raw chicken marinade. No way!
     
  2. I baked this receipt and found it very tasty. I am on the "FastDiet" and required to have very limited calories 2 days a week. This was perfect, and my husband liked it too
     
  3. Please see my rating system. DH declared this was an easy 4 stars, but he did not care for the yogurt-spice dollop. I marinated for over an hour, but the flavors did not meld well enough. During oven cooking the yogurt mixture congealed like pudding. As a result, the chicken was very moist, but did not absorb enough taste from the spices. I put the dollop of yogurt-spice sauce on my chicken, and was underwhelmed. Most Indian dishes call for cooking to bring out the mellowness of the spice mixture. Note that I used American chicken breasts, which were huge; I also had to allow additional cooking time, TG for my instant-read meat thermometer! Made for Spring 2013 Pick-A-Chef.
