Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ¾ | pounds | Boneless skinless chicken breasts |
| 1 | cup | Nonfat yogurt, drained |
| ¼ | cup | Loosely packed fresh mint leaves plus 2 tablespoons, chopped |
| ½ | Inch fresh ginger, peeled and chopped | |

| 1 | teaspoon | Sugar |
| 2 | teaspoons | Butter or margarine |
| ¼ | cup | Onion, chopped |
| 2 | mediums | Cloves garlic, crushed |
Directions
Remove fat from chicken and make 3 or 4 long slits in meat to allow marinade to penetrate. Mix yogurt, ¼ cup chopped mint, ginger, coriander, cayenne and sugar to make marinade. Divide marinade, reserving half in a separate bowl. Add chicken to one half of the marinade and let marinate 10 minutes, turning once during this time. Heat margarine on medium high in a nonstick skillet just large enough to hold chicken. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Add onion, garlic and chicken to the skillet.
Brown chicken 3 minutes. Turn and brown 2 minutes. Lower heat to medium.
Spoon reserved marinade over chicken, cover and cook 5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons chopped mint and serve.
