  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl mix to combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour into a zip top bag. Add chicken and coat evenly. Let marinate for 1/2 hour up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400˚. Place the potatoes and cauliflower on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, remaining salt and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated and spread onto baking sheet.

Step 3

Remove chicken from marinade and nestle in the vegetables. Bake in oven for 40-50 minutes until chicken and vegetables are cooked through.

Step 4 :: Helpful Hints

Garnish with roughly chopped cilantro for a fresh element.

Step 5 :: Helpful Hints

Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking of the chicken. An internal temperature of 165˚ is recommended for chicken breasts.

Step 6 :: Helpful Hints

A longer resting time in the marinade means moist and flavorful chicken. Overnight is recommended.

All recipe ingredients should be cooked to a safe internal temperature according to USDA guidelines. After preparing a recipe, please store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
