Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, ground cumin, paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain moisture.
Garnish the grilled chicken with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables, and enjoy this delicious fusion dish.
