Spicy Tarragon Yogurt Chicken
A flavorful grilled chicken marinated in a spicy tarragon yogurt sauce, perfect for summer barbecues.
Ingredients
- tarragon sprigs (1 bunch)
- plain Greek-style yogurt (0.5 cup)
- harissa sauce (0.25 cup)
- garlic cloves (2 )
- vinegar or citrus juice (2 tablespoons)
- ground cumin (1 tablespoon)
- salt (2 teaspoons)
- chicken breast halves (4 large)
Instructions
- Set 4 tarragon sprigs aside. Strip the leaves from the remaining tarragon. Combine tarragon leaves, Greek yogurt, harissa sauce, garlic, vinegar, cumin, and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Pour marinade over chicken breasts in a shallow dish, thoroughly coating both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove chicken breasts from marinade and place on the pre-heated grill. Cook over medium-high heat until dark grill marks appear, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 F (74 C).
- Garnish each chicken breast with harissa sauce and one of the reserved sprig of tarragon.
