Ingredients:

Serving

4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon , minced zest of
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp sea salt

Directions:

In a shallow dish (non-aluminum) just large enough to hold the chicken breasts, combine the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, mint leaves, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt; set aside.
Pat the chicken pieces dry.
Add the chicken to the yogurt marinade, turning to coat both sides; cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, preferably 24 hours.
Preheat grill. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade. Place chicken on prepared grill and proceed as follows:.
For Barbecue with Charcoal: When coals are ready, spread them around the edge of the firebox (24 round) and keep a squirt bottle near the fire to put out flames. Turn the chicken often and don't let it burn. Breasts take about 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife). Do not close the lid on the barbecue.
For Gas Barbecue (since you cannot maintain a hot fire without closing lid): Place prepared chicken onto hot grill. Cover barbecue with lid, open any vents, and cook approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife); turning several times during barbecuing.
