Tandoori Chicken with Green Apple Raita

I'm not going to pretend this is probably authentic Indian food. But it is delicious! And bonus, I'm not allergic to it. Serves great with brown rice.

1 cup plain yogurt (I use low fat)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground tumeric
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp salt (recipe calls for 2 but I always cut salt down)
1/4 tsp ground pepper
4 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves (I usually just use 2 boneless breasts)
2 Granny Smith apples
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (or the tube stuff from Safeway)

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. IN a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of yogurt, the garlic, tumeric, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and turn to coat.

Transfer the chicken to a rimmed (and tinfoil lined) baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes.

While chicken is cooking, peel the apple. Grate into a medium bowl. Add the cilantro and the rest of the yogurt. Season with salt and pepper (I usually don't). Serve the sauce with the chicken. Goes great with rice!

Recipe is from Everyday Foods.
