"I love yogurt based marinades for chicken; they seal in the moisture well. I found this one while browsing for recipes for ZWT 2006 - African/Middle East region."

  1. This is a pretty good marinade but you forgot a very important ingredient. SALT!!! I used 2 tsp. which seemed to be just about right.
     
  2. I diced the chicken in 2" pieces. Marinated then cooked on the grill, using indirect heat so they could be done slowly to keep the chicken tender. I used cinnamon and cumin and used 1/2 tsp. of each. They came out delicious and just the way I hoped they would taste!
     
  3. This recipe chicken was delicious. I cutted the breast in half and marinated overnight. <br/>I used half teaspoon cinnamon and half teaspoon cumin.<br/>Came out very tender and the flavor was perfect. <br/>I grilled the fish and I cooked the remaining marinade and served with the chicken.<br/>As we had guest I was too busy and I forgot to take the photo...I will do it next time for sure!<br/>Thanks for this recipe!
     
  4. This is an awesome marinade. I had it at work and had to get the recipe and try it myself! I did cut the chicken into pieces and broil them on skewers on the second rack. At first I left them under the heat for 5 minutes then I continued to flip them until they were perfectly cooked. I used the cumin but might reduce the amount next time- personal preference. Thanks, Susie.
     
  5. I did the marinade for 2 chicken breasts bone-in. I didn't know I had defrosted a small package with only 2 breasts LOL I used cinnamon and omitted the onion. It gave a nice taste to the chicken. But I bet it would be even tastier if the chicken would be diced. Thanks Susie. Made for Newest Zaar tag.

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
