Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon garam masala found in spice section of most grocery stores
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 cloves garlic crushed, or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
Chicken Prep
-
Combine all ingredients except chicken and whisk together well. Add chicken and toss to coat completely. Cover, and place in refrigerator to marinate 4-24 hours.
Cooking On the Grill
-
Spray grill with high-heat cooking spray (this is very important, or the chicken will stick). Preheat grill to medium-high.
-
Place yogurt-coated chicken on the hot grill, and cook about 10 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F).
Cooking In the Oven
-
Preheat broiler and move oven rack to be about 8 inches away from the heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place wire rack on top of the foil. Spray the wire rack with cooking spray. Place chicken in an even layer on the wire rack.
-
Broil for 10 minutes, then turn chicken over. Cook another 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and starting to brown. (Juices should run clear, and internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F.)

(Roughly Translated: Dear Andy Now I have followed you for a while and you’ve always been fresh with your recipes I HAVE tried to make your good dishes and it has always been a pleasure. The chicken with Indian Tandori was simpelthend great It was made on the purchased Tandori With sincerely Hardy)
Hi, Hardy! Thank you so much for this kind comment! It means a lot to me to know that I have a friend across the world trying my recipes. I’m so glad you liked the tandoori chicken. Have a wonderful weekend!
I absolutely LOVE Indian food and making it at home is much easier than most would know. Here’s the sad part – our family has gone vegan! We still have great options available, and I’ll always have my fond memories of previous Indian food… sigh…. :)
I wish some of my family member’s loved Indian food as much as I do so I could order it sometimes. But I could make this flavorful and easy tandoori chicken for me! How cool you got a grill!!
I love tandoori chicken and we eat it fairly regularly.. This tandoori chicken looks so good and simple to make.. Can’t wait to try this!! :)
I am actually not adventurous at all when it comes to Indian food, in fact tandoori and naan are the only things I’ll eat! Can’t wait to try your version, it looks great!
Chicken tandoori is one of my favorites and your version sounds delicious, Andi! Pinned!
I can just imagine the aroma that fills the kitchen with this dish! Yes, this is one I need to try — like you said, I always feel like there’s no way I could make it at home. Great work showing us otherwise!
I love Indian food so much, but you’re right, some of those recipes are way too involved for me! I love the looks of this chicken, and love that it’s simple to make!
This looks perfect, Andi! Love the grill marks! We order Indian takeout fairly often and adore tandoori chicken. I’ve never tried making it at home before. Can’t wait to try it!
I don’t know if I’ve ever even had tandoori chicken, let alone made it! It looks delicious, I can’t wait to try it!
It’s really flavorful, Stacey. I hope you get a chance to try it. Thank you!
