Chicken With Yoghurt and Tomato Sauce Recipe
Chicken breast can be a little bland and flavorless. Although it is the part with the most meat, it is also the part that tends to get really dry when cooked. Don't we always try to come up with ways of cooking moist and juicy chicken breast? Well, in this recipe, I combined chicken breast with yogurt and tomato sauce which gave it an incredible flavor and covered up the dryness. This recipe also uses up any stale bread you may have on hand. So you kill two birds in one stone!
You can either prepare it in a large serving platter or in single-serving plates. I hadn't thought of it at the time, but some freshly chopped parsley would go great on top of this dish. You can prepare the yogurt sauce with or without garlic depending on your liking. I added some hot pepper flakes to the chicken which gave it a nice spicy kick. You can leave it out and add some paprika instead. I hope you give it a try.
Enjoy!
