I've never bothered to look at the carb to protein ratio on a container of Greek yogurt until yesterday.  Greek yogurt has quite a bit more protein and less carbs than a standard container of yogurt.  Who knew?  Anyway, that's an interesting tidbit of information if you're looking for less carbs.

This was very tasty and somewhat different than my more recent grilled chicken ideas.  The cayenne pepper adds a bit of a bite to it but I think one tsp was exactly the right amount.



Spicy Yogurt Chicken

- four boneless chicken breasts
- 6oz plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- juice from one lemon
- one tbsp ground cumin
- one tsp ground cinnamon
- one tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- one tsp ground ginger

Place the chicken breasts in a large Tupperware container.  Stab the breasts with a fork several times on each side.

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper and ginger.  Pour the contents of the bowl over the chicken, seal the Tupperware container and refrigerate for one hour turning once.

Cooking Options:

1.  Grill the chicken for 5 minutes on each side until the center is no longer pink.

2.  Preheat oven to the 350F degrees.  Place the chicken in a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake for 22 minutes or until center is no longer pink.
