Yogurt Marinated Chicken

I just bought a FoodSaver and have been experimenting quite a bit. So far, so good! I have one of the marinade containers, so I used it to marinade this chicken. If yo don't have a FoodSaver yet and want one, you can Save $10 off any FoodSaver.com order of $80 or more!

1 Tbs oil
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp coriander
1/4 cup diced onion (I used about an 1/8 cup dried onion flakes)
1/2 cup yogurt
2 Tbs lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Heat the oil in a small skillet and stir in the cumin, paprika, and coriander. Cook, stirring, for a minute or two, then let cool. In a small bowl mix together the diced onion, yogurt, lime juice, salt, and oil/spice mixture. Put the chicken into a container or a bag or whatever dish you want to use, then pour the marinade on and turn the chicken so it's evenly coated.

If you're using a FoodSaver thingy, you can vacuum seal it and then let it marinade for 15-20 minutes. Otherwise I would do this in the morning and let it sit in the frig all day marinating. I have to say, I used the FoodSaver thingy and marinated it about half an hour and it was very flavorful!

You could, of course, bake the chicken at 350 for 10 minutes or so or grill on the barbecue.
