Serves: 6

Ingredients

1.5 lbs. Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts
⅓ cup 2% Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp. Smoked Paprika
1 tbsp. Turmeric
1 tbsp. Ground Coriander
5 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 tbsp. Chopped Chives
2 tbsp. Chopped Fresh Cilantro
¼ cup Olive Oil
1 tsp. Salt + 1 tsp. Pepper

Instructions

Mix all Ingredients together in a large bowl. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425F. Arrange the marinated chicken on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:

If needed, the chicken can marinate in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours in advance.
To assemble as a grain bowl: add your favorite grains, lettuce, fresh vegetables (bell pepper, cucumber, shallots, tomato), feta, herbs, crushed pita chips, and desired sauces to a large bowl. Top with cooked chicken and enjoy!
Any leftover chicken should be kept in an air-tight container, refrigerated, and consumed within 2 days. I prefer to consume the leftovers cold in a wrap or salad.
