Tandoori Chicken With Yogurt Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
coarse salt
ground pepper
4 (10 -12 ounce) bone-in skinless chicken breast halves
2 granny smith apples
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Preheat oven to 475\u00b0.
In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup yogurt, garlic, turmeric, ginger, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Add chicken; turn to coat.
Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 160\u00b0, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel apple; coarsely grate into a medium bowl.
Add cilantro and remaining 1/2 cup yogurt; season with salt and pepper.
Serve sauce alongside chicken, with rice, if desired.
