Yogurt-Lemon Chicken

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. chicken breast tenderloins
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp. lemon zest
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • Toss all of the ingredients (except cilantro and green onions) into a ziploc bag.
  • Close the bag, mash the mixture around with your hands to get the ingredients evenly distributed (this part is fun for the kids).
  • Place the bag onto a cookie sheet and put in the refrigerator to marinate. You can put this together in the morning and let it marinate all day, or you can throw it in, take the kids to the park and come home and cook it.
  • You can cook the chicken in a few different ways. You can bake it, skewer and grill it, or cook it on the stove. I heated a large pan on the stove and cooked the chicken 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  • To serve, sprinkle chicken with cilantro and green onions. Don't forget to add extra colors to your plate with colorful sides.
