Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1 1/4 pounds total)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

    In a medium bowl combine yogurt, green onions, snipped or dried mint, cumin, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Transfer half of the yogurt mixture to a small bowl; set aside. For cucumber-yogurt sauce, stir cucumber into remaining yogurt mixture.
