- 10
- Serves:

4-6
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup plain fat-free yogurt or 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

- 4 -6 boneless chicken breasts
directions
- Combine first nine ingredients,and pour into a large ziploc bag.
- Add the chicken to the bag, seal, and turn bag to coat chicken with mixture.
- Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
- I think overnight is best.
- You can grill over indirect medium heat until done.
- But I used my Showtime Rotisserie.
- If you have one, (and if you don't, they're very cool), use the flat basket and cook for about 25 minutes.

Just fantastic!!!!! I used homemade yoghurt using Dee514's recipe #32460. I marinated the chicken for the 8 hours. This is not an overpowering marinade, in fact the yoghurt enhances the flavour of the other ingredients used in the marinade and tenderised the chicken to perfection. I think the ingredients in the marinade are a marriage in culinary heaven. I used fresh ginger root instead of the ground ginger. I cooked this on the Barbie. The chicken browned up beautifully. Just a wonderful flavour, and melt in the mouth. I made triple the quantity hoping that I was have left overs but my friends cleaned the lot up. Everyone asked for the recipe. I think that this recipe will go down well with chicken pieces too. A good one Leeannr. :-)

Have you ever got a cracking recipe here! I didn't change a thing and it was perfect. The chicken browned up so nicely in the oven and was absolutely scrumptious after I marinated it overnight, like you suggested. Lovely garlic and ginger flavours made it special. The chili powder was also a nice addition that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. Try this everyone, it's super!!

The most tender, juicy, chicken breast i have ever made. This was so great, and you really made me look good at our July 4th bbq. No one could get over how moist and tender it was. I added extra garlic, but other wise followed the recipe as directed. It tasted wonderful, but what really impressed me was how tender it was. Really a great chicken recipe.
