Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh turmeric*

  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lb.) or 1 1/2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs

  • Cooked basmati rice

  • Lime wedges

  • Fresh snipped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. For marinade, in a small bowl whisk together the first eight ingredients (through salt). Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 24 hours.

  2. Remove chicken from marinade; discard any marinade remaining in bag. Place chicken on a well-greased grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat 12 to 15 minutes or until done (165°F for breasts, at least 170°F for thighs), turning once. Serve chicken with rice and lime wedges. If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
