Moroccan Spiced Grilled Chicken Breasts

Submitted by CookingONTheSide

"Plan ahead, the chicken needs to marinate 6-10 hours."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt
• 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

directions

1. Mix the marinade ingredients (yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper) together in a medium sized bowl.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and thoroughly coat with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator from 6 to 10 hours.
3. Heat your grill on high heat if you are using a gas grill, or prepare coals for direct heat if you are using charcoal. If you do not have a grill you can use a cast-iron grill pan on your stove.
4. Grill the chicken breasts a few minutes on each side, until cooked through. Take care not to overcook, as chicken breasts can easily dry out.

Delicious! I had to fry these in my iron frying pan as my bbq isn't working. I also used coriander rather than cilantro. The mixture of spices is wonderful. Made for ZWT7
