We wanted to cook up more figs, as Trader Joe's has them in abundance. So we decided to make the Israeli Couscous with Eggplant, Figs and Feta.  Sherry thought that we should make a spicy marinated chicken breast to accompany it, so we came up with the following recipe.  It was Mah-velous!

Marvelous Middle-Eastern Marinated Yogurt Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

·         1/2 cup plain yogurt

·         2 tablespoons lemon juice

·         2 garlic cloves, crushed

·         Fresh mint

·         1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

·         1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

·         1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

·         1/2 teaspoon black pepper

·         1/2 teaspoon salt

·         2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, cut thinly in half

Directions

1. Mix the yogurt with the seasonings. Place in a plastic bag with the chicken. Marinate for 2 hours to overnight.
2. Pound chicken in the bag with the marinade to 1/2 thick and grill, sauté, skewer or bake until lightly browned and cooked through.
3. Serve with Israeli Couscous Salad with Grilled Eggplant and Feta and enjoy!
