Yogurt and Garlic Sauce

Put chicken breasts on a greased grill (keep the marinade), close the cover of barbecue and cook for about 7 minutes (baste the chicken breasts with the marinade a few times). Flip the chicken breasts and keep cooking for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is golden and not pink inside. Serve with yogurt and garlic sauce.

Holy Cow! This is just terrific and then some! I marinated since yesterday, as we had a change of dinner plans, and the chick-chick almost fell of the bone right onto the floor. I used bone-in-chicken breasts, with skin! Oh it was as juicy as a waterfall in the Spring time! Loved the marinade, and the great sauce that was perfect sitting on top of the chicken. I used my roaster in the oven since it was literally raining "cat's & dog's" today, (grilling it first on my grill pan) then finishing in the oven, set on 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* April 2010

This was real good. Made as directed, and cooked on our cast iron grill frying pan. The sauce really compliments the chicken well.

I marinated for about 2 1/2 hours. I did grill outside, but had to cook a bit longer than specified. My chicken breast was pretty large, and it was raining outside. But rain is no barrier for me cooking on the grill! :) The garlic sauce is just awesome! I have some left over, and plan on using it on a sandwich with some of the leftover chicken. This chicken was so juicy and moist....even when I grilled boneless skinless breasts! I'll enjoy this recipe again. Thanks for sharing....made for Best of 2011 tag.
