List of Ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
MARINADE
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 piece gingerroot (1-inch long) peeled, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1⁄2 cup plain yogurt
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin

1⁄8 teaspoon ground mace

Recipe
For marinade: In a blender or small food processor grind onion with garlic, gingerroot, lemon juice, and water to form a paste. In a bowl stir together onion paste and remaining marinade ingredients.
With a sharp paring knife make three 1⁄2-inch deep diagonal cuts in each chicken breast half, being careful not to cut all the way through. Rub chicken with marinade, rubbing it into cuts. In a large resealable plastic bag marinate chicken, chilled, overnight.
Preheat grill. Grill chicken on an oiled rack 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through, about 7 minutes on a side, and transfer to a platter. Serve with cooked basmati rice.
