Ingredients:

Chicken

1 lb Chicken Breasts, Thighs, or Quarters

1 C PLAIN- Greek Yogurt

1 tablespoon Lime Juice

3 Cloves Garlic, minced

1.5 tablespoon Ginger, minced

1 teaspoon Salt and Pepper

1 tablespoon Paprika

1 teaspoon Garam Masala

1 teaspoon Cumin

1⁄2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

1⁄2 C Red Onion, chopped

 

Vegetables

1 Head Cauliflower, Chopped

1 Bunch of Carrots

 

Raita

1 1⁄2 C Plain Greek Yogurt

1 Cucumber, diced

1⁄3 C Cilantro

1⁄2 teaspoon Salt

1⁄2 teaspoon Garam Masala

1⁄2 teaspoon Cumin

1⁄4 C Red Onion, thinly sliced

 

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced

garlic, minced ginger, salt, pepper, paprika, garam masala, cumin, and cayenne pepper until well

combined. Add the chicken and chopped red onion to the marinade, ensuring the chicken is

fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

 

2. Prepare the Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized

florets and trim the carrots, peeling if desired. Toss the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil,

salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Cook the Chicken & Roast the

Vegetables:

 

Oven Method: Place the marinated chicken on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment

paper or foil. Bake the chicken and vegetables for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through,

until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the

vegetables are tender.

 

Grill Method (Optional): Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-8

minutes per side, or until cooked through.

 

3. Prepare the Raita: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, cilantro, salt, garam

masala, cumin, and thinly sliced red onion. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

 

4. Serve: Plate the tandoori chicken with the roasted vegetables. Serve with a side of raita and

lime wedges for extra flavor.
