Kitchen Adventures 12.6

"It tastes like chicken." We've all heard this before. The trick is to make chicken NOT taste like chicken. I'm always looking for different types of chicken recipes to mix it up so I'm not eating the same chicken thing over and over again.
This is a pretty good chicken recipe. It uses a small number of spices, but it's just the right combination. The yogurt gives it a nice touch, too. It's an easy recipe to make, which also makes it more appealing. Remember to read the entire recipe as this will take longer than you anticipate since it has to refrigerate for 30 minutes. It's worth it, though!

This recipe is from  Every Day with Rachael Ray.

Spiced Grilled Chicken

Ingredients:

One 6-ounce container plain yogurt
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Salt and pepper
4 large chicken breast halves on the bone (I used boneless and it worked fine.)

Directions:

1. In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the yogurt, garlic, cumin, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cut two slits in each chicken breast and add these to the yogurt mixture in the bag. Turn the bag and make sure the chicken breasts are thoroughly coated. Leave the chicken in the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the chicken on  a rack and over a rimmed baking sheet and roast until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
*Note: only roast on the rack if bone-in. If boneless, just cook on the baking sheet and check them at about 20 minutes.
