A flavorful and aromatic marinade for chicken, inspired by Turkish cuisine, perfect for grilling or baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and finely chopped onion.
Ensure the spices are evenly mixed into the yogurt for a consistent flavor.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess.
Let the chicken come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
Cook the chicken on the grill or in the oven until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.
Serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
