Yogurt Curry Marinated Chicken Thighs

Drescription

This healthy chicken thigh recipe is tender and packed with flavor, thanks to a yogurt-based marinade. The healthy yogurt marinade recipe also works well with pork, shrimp, firm fish or tofu. (Divide the recipe in half if marinating 1 pound of chicken thighs.)

Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• ⅓ cup grated onion (about 1 medium)
• 3 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 4 large or 8 small bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), skin removed

Directions

1. Whisk yogurt, onion, curry powder, oil, salt and crushed red pepper in a shallow pan. Add chicken and turn until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
2. Preheat grill to medium-high or broiler to high. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and grill or broil, turning once or twice, until no longer pink in the center, 25 to 30 minutes.
