List of Ingredients




* 2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
* 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
* 1 tsp ginger root, fresh, grated
* 2 medium garlic clove(s), minced
* 1 tsp ground cumin
* 1 tsp ground coriander
* 1/4 tsp black pepper
* 1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch chunks
* 2 tsp olive oil
* 1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
* 1 small jalapeno pepper(s), minced
* 1 tsp ground cumin
* 1/2 tsp paprika
* 8 oz canned tomato sauce
* 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
* 1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
* 2 cup cooked white rice, basmati, kept hot

Instructions

* To prepare chicken, in a large bowl, whisk together first seven ingredients; add chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour and up to 24 hours.

* Preheat outdoor grill, stovetop grill pan or nonstick skillet.

* Skewer chicken pieces onto four metal or wooden skewers. Grill or cook skewers in a hot skillet until chicken is cooked through, turning frequently, about 5 to 7 minutes. (Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent charring.)

* To make sauce, heat oil in a large, high-sided skillet (or wide saucepan) over medium heat. Add remaining minced garlic clove and jalapeno; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add remaining teaspoon of cumin and paprika and stir to coat. Add tomato sauce and evaporated milk, reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

* Remove grilled chicken from skewers. Add to tomato mixture and simmer 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Serve with rice. Yields about 1 cup of chicken mixture and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.
