Herbed Yoghurt Baked Chicken

Take...

150-200 ml plain yoghurt 1/3 cup chives, sometimes white welsh onion, or any other green onion, chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon (heaped) dried basil, rosemary and chilli powder (not too much chilli)
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Vinegar (I use about two teaspoonfuls)
Salt; to taste
Freshly ground black pepper; - to taste
3 whole chicken thighs (we have skinless)
Flour; as needed
Paprika; to taste (lots)


then...

1 Combine the yoghurt, scallions, garlic, herbs, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.

2 Dredge the chicken in flour, then dip in yoghurt mixture and place in a baking dish (remember the baking paper – it can get messy). Pour on any leftover yoghurt mixture. Sprinkle with paprika.


3 Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 °F for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until brown or starting to brown.

4 Serve with a salad and rice or other cooked grains. (I prepare fried rice while the chicken is cooking and serve up with lightly cooked snow peas and raw julienne carrots)

This version of the recipe yields 2 to 3 servings.
