BBQ Chicken Marinated in Yogurt and Dill

This marinade kept the chicken very moist.  Because there is little fat from the skinless chicken, and no sugar in the marinade, it doesn't burn on the grill.  Reserve some of the marinade (before putting the chicken in!) for a veggie dip or sauce for the cooked chicken.

I always buy my chicken from the butcher.  I prefer bone-in for the flavour and because it holds up well on the grill.  I also buy with the skin on, and remove it myself.

Recipe:  Yogurt and Dill Marinade

4 large bone-in chicken breasts
1 small shallot, finely chopped
2 heaping tablespoons low fat sour cream
3/4 cup plain non fat greek yogurt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 Tablespoons dill, finely chopped
salt & pepper

Mix all of the above together, reserve 1/3 cup for dip or sauce.  Place the chicken in the marinade, toss to coat evenly, cover, and place in the fridge for at least one hour.

Place on the grill over high heat, turning once until cooked through.
