    Diabetic Cilantro-Lime Chicken Thighs

    Recipe Introduction





    List of Ingredients




    Diabetic Cilantro-Lime Chicken Thighs

    - 12 ounces plain lowfat yogurt
    - 1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
    - Juice from 2 limes
    - 7 cloves garlic
    - 1/2 teaspoon salt
    - 2 teaspoons pepper, coarse grind
    - 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, about 4 pounds
    - Nonstick cooking spray

    Recipe



    Combine the yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and
    pepper in a food processor. Pulse to combine to make a marinade.

    Place the chicken in an extra large (2-gallon) resealable plastic
    bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag. Gently
    work the marinade over the chicken to coat thoroughly. Place
    in the refrigerator and allow to marinate 6 to 8 hours.

    When ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    Spray a roasting pan with the nonstick cooking spray and place
    the marinated chicken in a roasting pan. Reserve the marinade.
    Cook the chicken for 1 hour, basting with marinade as necessary
    for the first half of cooking time.

    Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches
    180 degrees, measured with a meat thermometer.
