Bobbys Herbed Yogurt For Tandoori Spiced Chicken Food

CHICKEN TANDOORI

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Make shallow cuts in the chicken thighs with a sharp knife. Toss the chicken with the lemon juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.
• Pulse 2 tablespoons yogurt, the vegetable oil, onion, garlic, ginger, tomato paste, coriander, cumin, 11/2 teaspoons paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor to make a paste. Toss the chicken in the mixture and let marinate 15 minutes.
• Place the chicken on a foil-lined broiler pan. Broil, turning once, until slightly charred and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt and 1/4 teaspoon paprika, the cilantro and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Top the chicken with the yogurt sauce and serve with rice, if desired.

TANDOORI CHICKEN BOWLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F. Mix yogurt, tomato paste, paprika, coriander, and 2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
• Rub a rimmed baking sheet with 1 Tbsp. oil. Arrange chicken on sheet, making sure there's space around each piece.
• Toss squash, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. salt on another rimmed baking sheet and spread out into a single layer.
• Roast chicken on upper rack and squash on lower, tossing squash halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and starting to char in spots, and squash is fork-tender and golden brown around the edges, 15-17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, purée scallions, lime juice, ginger, 3 cups cilantro, 3 Tbsp. water, and remaining ¼ cup oil and remaining 2 tsp. salt in a blender until smooth.
• Divide rice among bowls. Top with sauce, chicken, squash, and cilantro leaves, if using. Alternatively, serve chicken, squash, rice, and sauce separately for any picky eaters at your table, or keep the sauce on the side entirely.
• Do Ahead: Chicken can be marinated 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Chicken and squash can be roasted and sauce can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill separately. Reheat chicken and squash in a 300°F oven before serving.

EASY TANDOORI CHICKEN WITH YOGURT SAUCE

BOBBY'S TANDOORI SPICED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat up your grill to medium high.
• Spice Paste - mix all of the spices and oil together in a small bowl. The paste will be thick, and you can add more oil if needed to achieve a paste consistancy.
• Pound your chicken breasts until they are even thickness, if needed.
• Spread a thin layer of the spice paste on ONE side of the chicken ONLY. (I used my fingers to rub the spices onto the chicken.) If you do both sides, the spices will be too overwhelming. Trust me, it'll have plenty of taste. (One side is Bobby Flay's recommendation, and I'll follow it.).
• Grill your chicken until cooked through - about 3-4 minutes on each side. Pull the chicken off the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the grilled breasts, about 1/2 inch thick slices.
• While the chicken is resting, warm the pitas on the grill - just until they are pliable. Top with the chicken slices and serve with grilled tomato jam and herbed yogurt.
• NOTE: You can swap the herbed yogurt for plain sour cream or yogurt. DH made the herbed yogurt, and then when we ate leftovers we used sour cream, and preferred it.

BOBBY'S HERBED YOGURT FOR TANDOORI SPICED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toss the yogurt, mint, and cilantro into a food processor or blender. Blend until everything is well mixed. Salt and pepper to taste. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

• Heat grill to high. Brush tomatoes and serrano with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill tomatoes and serrano on all sides until charred. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
