Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, combine 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 garlic cloves, 0.5 cup cilantro, 0.25 cup mint, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp salt. Blend until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Place 2 lb chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.

  4. Step 4

    Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

  5. Step 5

    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
