Coat the chicken evenly in the yoghurt marinade. Serve with a lemony salad and flatbread for a simple, spice-forward meal.
The Stuff:
- 1/2 Cup plain yoghurt
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 Cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ½ Teaspoons Never Not Eating Baharat, Ras el Hanout or Lebanese 7 Spice
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 Pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
The Method:
Marinate the chicken:
- Mix the marinade ingredients (yoghurt, lemon juice, parsley, olive oil, garlic, Never Not Eating Baharat, Ras el Hanout or Lebanese 7 Spice, salt, and pepper) together in a medium sized bowl.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and thoroughly coat with the marinade.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight.
- Grill the chicken: Heat your grill on high heat if you are using a gas grill, or prepare coals for direct heat if you are using charcoal. Allow for one side of the grill to be the "cool" side. If you do not have a grill, you can use a cast-iron grill pan on your stove.
- Grill the chicken breasts over direct high heat for a couple of minutes on one side. Then turn them over and move them to the cool side of the grill. Cover and cook for a few minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the meat from the grill when the internal temperature of the chicken breast reaches 165°F and serve immediately.
