How to cook deliciously - Middle Eastern Yogurt Chicken

1 . Stage

Whisk together yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, green onion, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken breast halves and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator 1 hour to overnight.

2 . Stage

Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.

3 . Stage

Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard used marinade. Arrange chicken in prepared baking dish.

4 . Stage

Bake in preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes, turning occasionally. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Garnish with spearmint before serving.
