Mourgh
(Afghan Chicken)
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
-
2 lg Cloves garlic
-
1/2 ts Salt
-
2 c Plain, whole-milk
yogurt
-
Juice and pulp of 1 large
lemon, 3 to 4 tablespoons
-
1/2 ts Cracked black pepper
-
2 lg Whole chicken breasts,
about 2 pounds
Directions
Long, slow marinating in garlicky yogurt tenderizes,
moistens and adds deep flavor, so you end up with skinless
grilled chicken that's as delicious as it is nutritionally
correct. Serve with soft pita or Arab flatbread and fresh
yogurt.
Put the salt in a wide, shallow non-reactive bowl with
the garlic and mash them together until you have paste. Add
yogurt, lemon and pepper.
Skin the chicken breasts, remove all visible fat and separate
the halves. Bend each backward to break the bones so the
pieces win lie flat.
Add to the yogurt and turn so all surfaces are well-coated.
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate. Allow to marinate at
least overnight, up to a day and a half. Turn when you think
of it.
To cook, remove breasts from marinade and wipe off all
but a thin film. Broil or grill about 6 inches from the heat
for 6 to 8 minutes a side, or until thoroughly cooked. Meat
will brown somewhat but should not char. Serve at once.
