INSTRUCTIONS
Note 1: Use only unflavored, all-natural yogurt, without any additives
or stabilizers. *Note 2: or use 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint. Put
chicken breasts in a single layer in a shallow glass baking dish. Pour
lemon juice over chicken. Turn chicken twice to coat it well. Use a
mortar and pestle to crush garlic and salt to form a smooth paste. In
a separate bowl, whisk together garlic paste, yogurt, olive oil, mint
and black pepper. Pour yogurt mixture over chicken, turning chicken
twice to coat it with the marinade. Cover and marinate in refrigerator
for 1 to 2 hours. When ready to grill, remove chicken pieces from
marinade; reserve marinade. Grill chicken over medium heat for 5 to 7
minutes on each side (depending on thickness) until thoroughly cooked.
While chicken is grilling, transfer marinade to a small saucepan. Cook
over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a full
boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. Dissolve cornstarch in
1 tablespoon cold water and stir it into the sauce. Return pan to
stove and cook for 1 minute over medium heat, stirring constantly, to
thicken sauce. Serve chicken hot, with warm yogurt sauce spooned over
each serving. Heat Scale: Mild Recipe by: Chile Pepper Magazine,
