Burmese Spiced Yogurt Chicken

This chicken is awesome.  It’s super flavorful, easy to whip together, and oh so yummy!  It reminds me a little of the Island Lime and Coconut Chicken I’ve made in the past, but the yogurt in this adds a great slightly tangy taste.  You can throw this in a ziploc bag (double bag, just to be safe) and let it marinade overnight, or make it in the morning and you’ll have an awesome dinner.  I served this with some whole wheat Israeli couscous, but rice, quinoa, roasted or mashed potatoes would all be good options as well.
