Here is another recipe following my interest in cooking more with Indian spices. This is a super easy, quick marinade that tenderizes and flavors the chicken in a wonderful way. A quick turn on the grill and you have a delicious Indian flavored main course.

While grill preheats, remove chicken from marinade, shaking any excess off, and remove sauce from fridge. Cook chicken over direct high heat for 2 minutes and then for 6 additional minutes over med-high indirect heat.
Serve chicken with sauce, garnished with mint leaves and slice of lime. I also served a large salad and ½ a slice of whole wheat naan.
I liked this easy recipe, the flavors of the sauce complement the chicken really well. Mr. ELEB loved it! “Five stars”.
