Grilled Chicken Breast With Yogurt And Cucumber Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix yogurt, green onions, mint, cumin, salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Pour half the sauce in a bowl and set aside. Add cucumber to the remaining sauce and stir. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with remaining pepper. Set the barbecue to medium heat. Put the chicken breasts on an oiled grill of the barbecue and cook, without closing the cover, 12 to 15 minutes or until it's not pink inside. (flip them and brush with the sauce without cucumber at mid-cooking; discard remaining of this sauce). Serve with the sauce with cucumber.

Steps:

• Stir together 1 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt and spices.
• Add chicken and turn until well coated.
• Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• While the chicken is marinating, preheat grill.
• While grill is heating, stir together remaining 1 1/4 cups yogurt and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and salt to taste.
• Reduce grill to moderate heat.
• Grill chicken (discard marinade), on lightly oiled grill rack, turning occasionally (closing grill between turns), until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes total.
• Transfer chicken to a platter.
• Toss together mint, shallot and remaining oil in a small bowl.
• Drizzle chicken with yogurt sauce and top with mint salad.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, green onion, mint, cumin, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Transfer half to a bowl; set aside. For sauce, stir cucumber into remaining yogurt mixture; set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken with 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once halfway through grilling and brushing with reserved yogurt mixture the last half of grilling. Discard remaining mixture.
• Serve chicken with yogurt sauce and, if desired, cucumber slices.
