How to Make Ww Tandoori Chicken

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine the following marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons tandoori spice blend, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  2. Make diagonal slashes across 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1 inch apart. This helps the marinade penetrate and ensures even cooking.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the bag with the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 24 hours) for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your broiler to high.
  6. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  7. Arrange the marinated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon any remaining marinade over the chicken.
  8. Broil the chicken 4 inches from the broiler element for approximately 15 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Flip halfway through for even browning.
