Tandoori Buttermilk Chicken Breasts
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are very difficult to prepare moist and tender simply because they have no fatty skin and bone to protect them from the heat! My Tandoori Buttermilk Chicken Breasts recipe is one delicious, moist and tender exception! Marinated in a flavorful combination of buttermilk and exotic spices, the chicken breast’s fiber is broken down to receive moisture.
The results are stupendous; instead of dry, tough chicken, these buttermilk soaked chicken breasts are flavorful, moist, and exotically delicious! My Tandoori Buttermilk Chicken Breasts are healthy, protein rich, low in calories and full of flavor! Serve them with saffron jasmine rice and steamed broccolini. Enjoy
