½ cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh turmeric*

1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

1 tablespoon lime juice
-
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lb.) or 1 1/2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs

Lime wedges

Directions

For marinade, in a small bowl whisk together the first eight ingredients (through salt). Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 24 hours.

Remove chicken from marinade; discard any marinade remaining in bag. Place chicken on a well-greased grill rack.

If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
*Tip
To peel turmeric, use a vegetable scrubber to remove the tender peel.
