A Cool Day in Arizona


We love to grill out but sometimes it is just too hot here in the summer. Today we had a cooler (90) day, so we decided to grill. We usually do chicken or fish. Today we decided on Grilled Mexican Chicken. Don't be alarmed when you read that you marinade the chicken in yogurt. The cultures in the yogurt really help to tenderize the meat. I try to marinade at least 3 hours.
Marinade:
2 cups plain low fat yogurt
2 medium shallots
3 garlic cloves
¼ cup orange juice
2 Tablespoons lime juice
2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
½ teaspoon cumin
salt & pepper
When you are ready grill chicken breast for six minutes per side on a medium hot grill. When we grill I also like to throw some zucchini sliced in half on there. Brush each size with some olive oil then salt & pepper it. Just cook your zucchini three minutes per side. Serve with a green salad or potato salad.
