1/2 tsp. coriander powder
pepper
Steps:
1. in medium sized bowl stir ingredient into yogurt
2. add in chicken
3. add into baking dish (spray with pam)
4. bake at 300 to 350 C. for 20 to 25 minutes, keep an eye out on this as everyone's ovens heat differently. If chicken holds lots of water just drain it out. Makes two portions and is great with brown rice or over spinach.
