Adobo rápido de yogur para pollo

Ingredientes

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken (about 4 medium breasts or 6 thighs)
• 3/4 cup unsweetened plain yogurt (any variety (Greek, whole milk, or low fat))
• 1/2 cup grated onion (about 1/2 an onion)
• Grated zest of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 garlic cloves (grated or crushed in a garlic press)
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   Add the chicken to a bowl or large baking dish.

2. 2

   Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, whisking until smooth.

3. 3

   Pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn the chicken pieces over with a fork so that the marinade coats them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap. Alternatively, add the chicken to a zip-top freezer bag along with the marinade, and squish the bag with your hands to distribute. Refrigerate 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

4. 4

   When you're ready to cook, remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, shaking off and discarding any excess.

5. 5

   Cook the chicken according to your preference:

7. 7

   Preheat a grill to medium-high heat for direct grilling. Oil the grill racks (the yogurt tends to stick to the grates). Grill on a medium-hot grill about 5 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through.

   --- Baked chicken ---

9. 9

   Preheat the oven to broil, with the oven rack six inches from the heat source. Arrange the chicken on a rack set on top of a foil or parchment-lined sheet pan. Broil the chicken about 5-6 minutes per side, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

11. 11

    Heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear until golden brown, 3-4 minutes on each side. Lower the heat to medium, cover the pan and cook until the pieces are cooked through.
