Yogurt Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place yogurt in a small bowl and stir until creamy smooth. Add lemon and stir together. (Note: If you do not stir the yogurt first, the lemon juice will make the yogurt curdle.) In a separate shallow dish or bowl combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder and salt to taste; mix together.
• In a 9x13 inch baking dish place 1 scant pat of butter or margarine for each chicken breast. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Dip each breast in the lemon/yogurt mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture (coating completely but not heavily).
• Place coated chicken in the baking dish and top each breast with a full pat of butter or margarine. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts into a baking dish in a sigle layer.
• In a small bowl, combine the seasonings, green onions, lemon juice, and yogurt.
• Pour the yogurt/seasoning mixture over the chicken breasts, turning them over to coat well with the yogurt mixture.
• For best results, cover and chill for a few hours to allow flavors to blend.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the chicken and bake for 1 hour or until chicken is done.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, make a few slashes in each drumstick. Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl, season to taste. Add the drumsticks, rubbing the mixture well into the meat. If you have time, cover and chill for 30 mins.
• Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Cook them on the barbecue for 20-25 mins, turning occasionally, until cooked through.

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, oil, ginger, sugar and seasonings; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight., Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack., Prepare the grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place chicken over drip pan and grill chicken, covered, bone side down over indirect medium heat for 2 minutes. Turn; grill 25-35 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 170°.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine all ingredients except chicken-- adjust seasoning to taste (but don't get it too salty), place in a 1 gal zip-lock bag with the chicken.
• Toss to coat chicken Marinate for 48 hrs, turning over a couple times each day.
• Grill chicken on a clean, lightly greased grill over medium heat for 5 min a side, or until done.
• Remove from heat and let it set in a covered bowl for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Can also be done under a broiler on a rack.

Steps:

• Juice 1 of the limes into a medium bowl. Whisk in the cumin, turmeric, 1 cup of the yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Add the chicken tenders and toss until well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime in half and juice one of the halves into a small bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup yogurt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth; refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and set aside for serving.
• Put the flour, remaining 1 cup yogurt and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl and mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. (The dough may appear dry and crumbly at first, but it will come together as you mix it.) Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and slightly elastic, dusting with more flour if necessary, about 8 minutes. If the dough feels too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and continue kneading until soft and pliable. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, roll into balls and pat out into four 8-inch rounds.
• Spray a grill pan generously with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Rub 2 of the dough rounds on each side with 1 tablespoon of the oil and place on the grill pan. Cook until dry around the edges and dark grill marks form, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Set aside and repeat with the remaining dough rounds and oil. Brush any remaining dough bits to the sides of the grill pan.
• Shake off as much marinade as possible from the chicken pieces and transfer to the grill pan. Cook until dark grill marks form and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side.
• Spread each flatbread with 1 tablespoon of the yogurt sauce. Top each with 2 chicken tenders and sprinkle with one-quarter of the cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, red onion and cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining yogurt sauce and season with salt and pepper. Fold in half like a taco and serve immediately with lime wedges and mixed greens.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, oregano, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Zest the lemon over the bowl, reserving the rest of the lemon for serving. Whisk until smooth.
• Add the chicken thighs, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24. Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• If using a grill, clean and oil the grates. Set the grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan slicked with olive oil on the stovetop over medium-high. Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the thighs), covering the grill halfway through if necessary to retain heat, until cooked through.
• Transfer the chicken thighs to a platter and squeeze half the lemon over them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine saffron with 1 tablespoon water and let soak 10 minutes. Place in food processor with yogurt and garlic and purée until smooth and yellow. Place chicken in glass or ceramic bowl; pour yogurt mixture on top, turn to coat; cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, mint, salt and pepper. Heat a generous half-inch oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Drop in a bit of bread to test temperature; oil should bubble vigorously. Working in batches to avoid crowding, dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture, then fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes a side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately, topped with walnuts and lemon wedges.
