Yogurt Marinated Chicken

No ratings yet

Yogurt marinated chicken is a simple recipe that's perfect for those busy weeknight dinners. Marinating the chicken in unsweetened coconut yogurt adds an extra level of flavor to the chicken while infusing it with garlic, spices and a zip of lemon. I love serving this recipe with a simple cucumber salad and garlic rice, but it's super versatile and can be pairs with so many things.
