Nif's Light Grilled Marinated Chicken

Recipe #379991 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

A nice light, yet flavourful dish that is easy and the breasts can be served whole or on skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in cool water for 30 minutes. I also place a strip of tinfoil under the exposed skewers when on the grill. I recently purchased metal skewers and I really like them. I did not include marinating time. Enjoy!

We liked this. I kicked up the Old Bay a bit because I like spice. The meat was moist and tender. I actually baked it in a oven for about 30 minutes with just a bit of the sauce on top which worked out well. I think the fresh ginger is what made this really special. Thanks Nif. Made for the Went to the Market Tag game.

    Light is exactly the word I'd give this--so refreshing on a hot summer day. I think this is a great candidate for planned-overs, as it would be lovely over salad greens for lunch or a light dinner. I served it as-is with roasted vegetables and brown rice pilaf. I used a combination of chicken breasts and b/s thighs, and based on toni's review I skipped the optional salt. Next time I will add it, though, as we are salt-aholics around here . Thanks for posting; it was a lovely meal. Made for Went to Market tag.

    Light and full of flavor. Yogurt does such wonderful things with chicken breasts making them tender like any marinade but not cooking them as more acidic concoctions sometimes do. I received a sample of Old Bay and never considered using it on poultry (I don't eat shellfish.) The garlic, ginger and lemon were perfectly balanced and worked well with the spices. Although, I did not add the salt from the recipe, I did find this a little too salty, my guess is there is salt in the spice blend. A definite keeper. Made for the Summer Spectacular.
