Spiced Chicken Thighs with Yogurt Sauce

The yogurt sauce has a nice cooling effect for the heat of the chicken.

(modification of recipe originally from Cooking Light)

Serves 4

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper/cayenne
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
• 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 ½ pounds)
• Cooking spray
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 (6 ounce) carton plain fat-free Greek yogurt

Combine the first 5 ingredients (cumin through red pepper) and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl.  Sprinkle spice mixture over chicken.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.  Coat pan with cooking spray.  Add chicken to pan; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done.  Alternatively, grill over medium-high heat for 6 minutes on each side or until done.
