This recipe brings the flavors of tandoori chicken to your home kitchen with a simple and delicious yogurt marinade.
Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, salt, ground ginger, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the marinade ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Place the chicken breasts in a container and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the chicken.
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.
