This is a delicious, easy and healthful Indian style meal that tastes fantastic paired with a gewurztraminer wine. Marinating chicken in yogurt for 24 hours makes the meat very tender and flavorful.
Easy Tandoori Chicken for the Grill:
4 large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup curry powder
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon Tony Cachare’s Cajun Seasoning
1/2 cup toasted coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Combine yogurt, curry, lemon juice and Cajun seasoning together in a mixing bowl. Make 3 long slits lengthwise that go half way through each chicken breast. Place chicken breasts in a rectangular cake pan or a large casserole pan. Pour the yogurt sauce over each breast, making sure you get yogurt inside all the slits. Cover tightly and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Grill on high heat 10 to 12 minutes per side. Garnish with toasted coconut, raisins and slivered almonds.
