Description

The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy, it almost had a creaminess to it. The spices created a very warm and sort of cozy flavor to it. It had just a smidgen of heat that was cut by the yogurt. To top it off a great crunchy crust that absorbed the all the flavor from the spices.

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces, weight Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 3-½ teaspoons Garam Masala
  • 2 whole Green Onions, Minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • 3 whole Chicken Thighs, Skinned
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Butter, Divided In 3

Preparation

Preheat oven at 350 degrees, butter baking pan and spray broiling pan.

Combine 7 oz. of Greek yogurt with 3 1/2 tsp of Gram Masala, stir and taste to check if you like more seasoning. Add green onions, garlic and milk, stir till well combined.

Dredge chicken in yogurt mixture and then in panko bread crumbs.

Place chicken in buttered pan, place thin pads of butter on top of the chicken & cover with foil, bake at 350 degrees for 35 mins.

I was actually kind of disappointed in how this ended up tasting…kind of on the bland side. i did make a homeade garam masala, and maybe that was the problem?

These were very good. Took much longer to bake – I lost track of the time, but it was closer to an hour. I think they’d bake better uncovered. Wonderful flavor!

Very yummy. Chicken took much longer to cook. I did 350 for 35 minutes and the outside was still pink so I put it up to 390 for another 35 (checking every ten) until it was finished. I will definately make it again but I will cook it longer at a higher temperature and then broil it for longer as well because my husband LOVED the little crusty pieces.
