Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 6 pieces Green chillies
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Use a sharp knife to make shallow slits on both sides of each chicken breast for better marinade absorption.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining yogurt, minced garlic, ginger paste, lemon juice, ground cumin, garam masala, paprika, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
Step 4
Finely chop 4 of the green chillies and add them to the marinade. Reserve the remaining 2 chillies for garnish.
Step 5
Rub the marinade generously over the chicken breasts, ensuring all sides are coated evenly. Place the marinated chicken in the greased baking dish.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 7
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and brush the chicken with vegetable oil. Slice the reserved green chillies lengthwise and arrange them on top of the chicken.
Step 8
Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Garnish the baked chicken with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your 'Oven Ki Murghi' with naan, steamed rice, or a simple side salad.
