Ingredients

2 cups plain lowfat yogurt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/3 cup mint leaves, chopped
1/3 cup cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons minced garlic, or 1 clove grated
1/2 fresh lime, juiced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 (4-ounce) pieces chicken diced into 1-inch cubes
1 pineapple, cored, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
Black Beans, recipe follows

Directions

In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the chicken, pineapple, and red onion, and mix until evenly combined. Separate the mixture in half, placing one half into a re-sealable bag with the chicken. Marinate this overnight in the refrigerator. Optional: Skewer chicken, onion, and pineapple for presentation. Keep the remainder of the marinade in the refrigerator.

On a non-stick grill pan, over high heat spray a little olive oil to coat the pan. Place the marinated chicken onto the hot pan. Brown the pieces on all sides. To the same pan, add the onions and pineapple. Once the onions have softened remove both the onions and the chicken and reserve. Continue to cook the pineapple until it has caramelized on both sides. Remove to a plate with the chicken and onions.

Black Beans and Rice:

2 cups long grain white rice
3 1/2 cups low sodium/low fat chicken stock
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder
2-3 tablespoons marinade from Chicken Tonette
1 can black beans, drained

Place rice, stock, turmeric, and chili powder into a large microwave safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave on high for 10 minutes and on medium for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from microwave and fluff rice with a fork. Stir in marinade and black beans. Serve with Chicken Tonette.

It was okay, but I would not make this again.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

It was tasty, but not worth the effort. The whole idea of marinating overnight did not sit well with me. The flavor was... good, but not worth the prep time. If I had been eating out, I would not have sent this back, but would never order it again. I make several lowfat chicken dishes that are much less involved but taste as good if not better, but hey...I don't have my own cooking show.Read more

Big hit with my husband!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband loves this recipe (and I do, too)! He's asked me to make it again twice since I made it the first time. As Cindy... from Raleigh mentioned, the flavors truly are incredible. This recipe is a KD masterpiece, and has become one of our favorite meals. The flavors marinate into the chicken wonderfully, and the yogurt tenderizes the chicken perfectly. Like Kathleen did on the show, I cook the chicken on a grill pan, and grill fresh pineapple with it. That makes a perfect flavor combination. Mixing the extra marinade into brown rice makes a great base to serve the chicken over.Read more
