Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients for the marinade together, set aside 1/2 cup and pour the rest of the marinade into a 1 gallon self sealing plastic bag. Place the chicken breasts in the bag for 4 hours to overnight.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and gently remove any excess marinade on the chicken breast. Heat a large grill pan on medium heat. Add the oil. When hot, season the chicken breasts and place them in the hot pan, cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through.

Serve with a little reserved yogurt sauce and quinoa "tabuoli."
