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.
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.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
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.
Step 5
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
