Grilled Chicken Recipe with Spiced Mint Yogurt

Ingredients:
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 3 tbsp diced green onions
- 2 1/4 cups plain, fat free yogurt
- 2 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp curry powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tbsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 cup whole, fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup finely chopped mint leaves
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoons olive oil, the salt, pepper and spices. Add the chicken and turn until well coated. Marinate at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, preheat the grill. Stir together the remaining 1 1/4 cups yogurt, the 1/4th cup chopped mint leaves, and 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and salt to taste. Reduce the grill to moderate heat. Discard the marinade and grill the chicken on a lightly oiled grill rack (you can use non fat grill cooking spray for this), turning occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes (until the chicken is cooked through). Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. In a small bowl, toss together the remaining oil, green onions and mint. Drizzle the chicken with the yogurt sauce and top with green onions and mint mixture.
