Clean tandoori chicken

Ingredients

8 boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tbs oil
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 tbs chopped garlic
2 tbs chopped ginger
1 tsp finely chopped serrano or jalapeno pepper (stem and seeds removed)
1 tbs paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp garam masala (it’s an indian spice, so it may be in the authentic aisle of your grocery store)
1/2 tsp cayene
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tbs fresh lemon juice

Cut diagonal slices 1 inch apart. 

1/2 inch deep on thicker chicken breast. Put chicken in a baking dish.

In a blender combine oil, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper until paste.
Add paprika, cumin, turmeric, coriander, garam masala & cayenne, process until well blended
Add yogurt and lemon juice, process into a smooth sauce, scrape down the sides to combine all ingredients. 
Pour marinade over chicken, turn to coat and rub into the slits. 
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for min 4hrs to 24hrs.

Place chicken on a baking sheet and bake at 425 for 35 minutes. Make sure to get all the sauce on the chicken. 

You can also grill this, indoor grill or BBQ (makes a bit of a mess on the grills), but tastes awesome! Cook for 8 - 10mins on first side. Turn and baste as needed. Cook second side 8 - 10 minutes or until chicken is done. Continue this process until chicken is done (25-30minutes)”
