Tandoori Chicken

I had a good idea for a post today, but unfortunately, I forgot it before I could get to my computer.   If it comes back to me, I’ll post it tomorrow.

Here’s a substitute post.   Great for that George Foreman or other indoor grill!

• 3/4 cup coarsely chopped onion

Cooking spray

METHOD:

1. Place first three ingredients in a food processor; process until finely chopped.  Add yogurt and the next 8 ingredients (yogurt through nutmeg); pulse 4 times or until blended.

2. Make 3 diagonal cuts 1/4″ deep across top of each chicken breast half.  Combine chicken and yogurt mixture in a large zip-top plastic bad.  Seal and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
