Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
For the Marinade
Plain Yogurt (not Greek) ¼ cup
Lemon Juice 2 tablespoons
Onion, chopped ¼ cup
Garlic, minced 3 cloves
Ginger, grated 2 teaspoons
Garam Masala 2 teaspoons
Turmeric ¼ teaspoon
Cayenne Pepper (optional) ¼ teaspoon
Salt, to taste
For the Chicken and Vegetables
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs 2 lbs
Bell peppers, any color, chopped 1 medium
Red onion, chopped 1 medium
Broccoli florets 1 cup
Cauliflower florets 1 cup
Olive Oil 1 tablespoon
Garam Masala 1 teaspoon
Salt, to taste
Fresh Cilantro, chopped (for garnish) ¼ cup

Cooking Guide:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a large bowl,
    whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

  2. Prepare the Vegetables:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    Toss bell peppers, red onion, broccoli florets, and cauliflower florets with olive oil, garam masala, and salt. Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet.

  3. Assemble and Bake:
    Arrange the marinated chicken pieces over the vegetables on the baking sheet.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.

  4. Garnish and Serve:
    Broil the chicken for an additional 1-2 minutes for a slightly charred appearance (optional).
    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with rice or naan bread.

Tips:

  • For spicier chicken: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the marinade.
  • Substitute vegetables: Feel free to use other vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or green beans.
  • Don’t have yogurt? Substitute buttermilk or kefir for a similar tangy flavor.
  • Leftovers: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave until warmed through.
