Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Prepare the chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then slice each breast horizontally into two thinner cutlets.
Marinate
Mix the yogurt, curry powder, paprika, garlic, thyme leaves, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, preferably overnight.
Grill
Let the excess marinade drain off the chicken, then cook on a hot grill or in a hot grill pan until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 10–12 minutes total.

Tip: The yogurt and lemon tenderize the chicken, but marinating for longer than one day will not improve it. Before grilling, scrape off the marinade with a spatula so it does not burn on the grill grates.
