    List of Ingredients




    Low Fat Marinated Grilled Chicken with Sizzle of Corn and Tomatoes

    For the marinated grilled chicken:
    1 cup low-fat or non-fat plain yogurt
    zest of 1 lemon, grated
    1 tablespoon curry powder
    2 cloves garlic
    2 tablespoons honey
    1/4 cup minced red onion
    2 tablespoons chopped, fresh mint
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 4 to 6 ounces each

    For the sizzle of corn and tomatoes:
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
    1/3 cup chopped, fresh tomatoes, or canned, drained
    1 cup fresh corn kernels removed from the cob
    1/2 teaspoon seeded, finely chopped jalapeño pepper
    pinch of cumin
    1/4 teaspoon sugar
    4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
    salt to taste
    freshly ground black pepper



    Recipe



    For the marinated grilled chicken:
    1. Mix all the ingredients except the chicken in a large bowl.
    2. Add the chicken to the mixture and coat evenly.
    3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
    4. Preheat the grill.
    5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. (This protects against cross-contamination.) Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper.
    6. Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook until the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side.

    For the sizzle of corn and tomatoes:
    1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft but not dark in color.
    2. Add the tomatoes, corn and jalapeño pepper, and cook for 1 minute. Add the cumin and sugar and cook 1 more minute.
    3. Add the vinegar and cook until the liquid reduces slightly.
    4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
    5. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the sizzle around the grilled chicken.
