Beer Marinated Chicken With Pumpkin Puree And Yogurt Rice Recipes

YOGURT-MARINATED CHICKEN FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Juice 1 of the limes into a medium bowl. Whisk in the cumin, turmeric, 1 cup of the yogurt, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Add the chicken tenders and toss until well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime in half and juice one of the halves into a small bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup yogurt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth; refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut the remaining lime half into wedges and set aside for serving.
• Put the flour, remaining 1 cup yogurt and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl and mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. (The dough may appear dry and crumbly at first, but it will come together as you mix it.) Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and slightly elastic, dusting with more flour if necessary, about 8 minutes. If the dough feels too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and continue kneading until soft and pliable. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, roll into balls and pat out into four 8-inch rounds.
• Spray a grill pan generously with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Rub 2 of the dough rounds on each side with 1 tablespoon of the oil and place on the grill pan. Cook until dry around the edges and dark grill marks form, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Set aside and repeat with the remaining dough rounds and oil. Brush any remaining dough bits to the sides of the grill pan.
• Shake off as much marinade as possible from the chicken pieces and transfer to the grill pan. Cook until dark grill marks form and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side.
• Spread each flatbread with 1 tablespoon of the yogurt sauce. Top each with 2 chicken tenders and sprinkle with one-quarter of the cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, red onion and cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining yogurt sauce and season with salt and pepper. Fold in half like a taco and serve immediately with lime wedges and mixed greens.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH YOGURT MARINADE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic, oregano, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Zest the lemon over the bowl, reserving the rest of the lemon for serving. Whisk until smooth.
• Add the chicken thighs, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24. Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• If using a grill, clean and oil the grates. Set the grill to medium-high or heat a grill pan slicked with olive oil on the stovetop over medium-high. Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the thighs), covering the grill halfway through if necessary to retain heat, until cooked through.
• Transfer the chicken thighs to a platter and squeeze half the lemon over them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
