As you can imagine, I was thrilled when Lynn announced Rachael would be the August celebrity chef. Woo-hoo! In the past months, we celebrated Ina Garten, Bobby Flay, Ree Drummond, Paula Deen, and the Pillsbury Doughboy.
The tough part about this month's challenge was choosing just one recipe to share. After careful consideration, I chose Tandoori Chicken. This chicken dish is packed with flavor. I like to slice it thinly and serve it on warm Naan with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and Tzatziki Sauce.
Let's cook!
Tandoori Chicken
1 Cup Greek Yogurt - regular plain yogurt works fine
2 Inches Grated Ginger Root
3 Cloves Grated Garlic
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
2 Teaspoons Coriander
1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika - I used 1/4 t. paprika + 1/4 t. cumin
1/2 Teaspoon Tumeric
1 Teaspoon Cardamom
1 Teaspoon Cumin
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, plus extra for drizzling
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts - I used 4 breasts and no thighs
Salt and Pepper
Preheat oven to 500 to 550 degrees F, as high as
it goes. Cover a baking sheet with foil and set a baking rack on top if
you have one.
Place yogurt in shallow dish and combine with ginger, grated garlic, chili powder, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cardamom, cumin and 2 tablespoons oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and coat in sauce. Arrange on baking sheet and roast 20 to 25 minutes until juices run clear.
You may also cook the chicken on the grill.
YUMMO!

This really does sound like a flavorful dinner, I've never had Tandoori Chicken, might just give it a try! A friend has some of the Bubble and Browns, she says they work great! Bosco looks so cute, thanks for playing along La:@)

I enjoy watching Rachel's show from time to time and her magaizine is great! This looks like a really flavorful chicken, and one I'd love as I like all those spices..tumeric is supposed to be very healthy!
ReplyDeleteYummo is right~ love your mosaic with your question mark September chef! I forgot RR had a dog food brand, now I remember seeing Isaboo in commercials. No wonder Bosco is a fan :-)
ReplyDeleteLa, That sounds really good, and healthy too. Dr. Oz praises turmeric as a health food. Thanks for sharing.
