“Tandoori Chicken: A Delicious Homemade Dish Even Busy Parents Can Master!”

Tandoori Chicken Recipe – A Healthy and Flavorful Dish for the Whole Family

As the stay-at-home parent of two young children, I’m always looking for new and interesting recipes to keep me and my family interested in mealtime. One of our favorites is tandoori chicken. It’s a healthy dish that’s packed full of flavor, and it’s relatively easy to make.

Tandoori chicken is a traditional Indian dish that’s cooked in a tandoori oven, which is a type of cylindrical clay oven. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs before it’s cooked in the oven. The result is juicy, flavorful chicken that’s just bursting with flavor.

I love this recipe because it’s a great way to get all of the whole family involved in mealtime. My kids love helping me mix up the marinade and they always get excited when they see the tandoori chicken cooking in the oven. Plus, since it’s so easy to make, I can have dinner on the table in no time – which means more quality time with my family!

Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 2 tablespoons garlic paste
– 2 tablespoons ginger paste
– 1 tablespoon garam masala
– 2 teaspoons ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, garam masala, coriander, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and oil. Mix until everything is combined. Add the lemon juice and stir.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a large plastic bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Make sure all sides are evenly coated in marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours).
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the chicken breasts on a lightly greased baking sheet or roasting pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Once done cooking, let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
