Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala optional, omit for nightshade-free
1/8 teaspoon black pepper ground
1 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt if dairy-free
1 teaspoon avocado oil
1 garlic clove minced
1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated

Instructions

Mix together the cumin, garlic powder, salt, garam masala, and pepper and use to season the chicken. Allow this mixture to marinate at least 30 minutes. Combine the yogurt, oil, garlic, and ginger. Toss the spiced chicken in this yogurt sauce to coat thoroughly. Use immediately or up to overnight.
Heat an oven broiler on high. Place chicken on a foil-lined pan and broil for 20 minutes, flipping half way through cooking. The chicken will be lightly charred and should be 160ºF at its thickest point. Allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes and cut into one inch pieces.
