How to Make Yogurt Chicken With Garlic Mint Dipping Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a wide, shallow bowl, pour 1 cup plain yogurt.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  5. Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
  6. Dip each chicken piece into the yogurt, ensuring it's thoroughly coated on both sides.
  7. Roll each yogurt-coated piece in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the breaded chicken pieces on the prepared wire rack.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
  10. While the chicken is baking, prepare the dipping sauce:
  11. Combine 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor.
  12. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The sauce should have a thin, flecked green consistency.
  13. To serve, place a piece of chicken on each plate. Drizzle some dipping sauce around the chicken, avoiding the chicken itself.
  14. Serve any remaining chicken on a platter with the remaining dipping sauce in a pitcher. Serve hot or at room temperature.
