Bahamian-Spiced Chicken With Yogurt-Cilantro Sauce
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon minced seeded habanero pepper
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 1/2 cups plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- Zest of 1 lime (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- Combine juices and next 7 ingredients (through habanero) in a medium baking dish; whisk well. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
- While chicken marinates, combine yogurt and next 6 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat a grill, grill pan, or nonstick saute pan over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; pat dry with paper towels. If using a grill or grill pan, brush chicken on both sides with oil. If using a nonstick pan, heat oil over high heat until oil begins to shimmer. Cook chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through (about 4 1/2 minutes on each side). Serve with sauce.
