Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoons chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly coat the grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.

Step 8

Serve the grilled chicken with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
