Satiating Treats

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 4 bone-in, skinless chicken breast halves (10 to 12 ounces each)
• 2 Granny Smith apples
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together 1/2 cup yogurt, garlic, turmeric, ginger, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken; turn to coat.
2. Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, peel apple; coarsely grate into a medium bowl. Add cilantro and remaining 1/2 cup yogurt; season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce alongside chicken, with rice, if desired.
