- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse properly. For even better results, let it marinate overnight.
- Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This ensures even cooking and more tenderness.
- Cook the rice while the chicken is marinating to save time and ensure everything is ready at the same time.
- When making the sauce, whisk continuously while adding the yogurt to avoid curdling.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste – feel free to add more lemon juice or herbs if desired.
- If you prefer a fresher taste, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
