Healthy recipe! Oven Cook, Grill or BBQ!! Traditionally cooked in a Clay Tandoor Oven but you can make this at home using your regular oven.

The Tandoori Masala Mix, Chicken Seasoning, Plain Yogurt. I used 0% Fat Greek Yogurt, but this is just as good.

Once mixed it should look like this. Don't worry about exact measurements, I used 4-5 heaped tablespoons of Greek Yogurt... Add the salt and the Chilli, I forgot to pop mine in but I'll do it later..

Place the Chicken on a Baking Tray I always use foil lining on my tray..... Place the Chicken in the Oven for 20 mins. You can the grill.  Ensure the meat is cooked through before eating.

Look at that..... Mmmmmmm I love Chicken...

Before cooking I left the Chicken to marinate for 2-3 hours, if you leave it longer the full flavour penetrates the meat... Next it's the Mint Sauce sorry no instruction pics....

Put a couple of tablespoons of Yogurt in a bowl, add chopped fresh Mint & 1/2tspGarlic or a teaspoon of Concentrated Mint, add half a sashet of Splenda AND MIX IT UP! Add more Mint or Sugar as needed

You can see from the sauce the Yogurt is thick, it's because I just wanted to eat it! I made 4 breasts with this mix.
