Instructions
-
Pat 1 pound chicken breast fillets dry and lightly pound any thick sections for even cooking. Season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. In a shallow dish, combine:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves finely grated garlic
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coat the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
-
Husk 2 ears sweet corn and rub them with 2 teaspoons neutral oil and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon neutral oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to make a brushable corn finish.
-
While the chicken marinates, preheat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F, for 10 minutes. Clean the grates and coat them with 1 teaspoon neutral oil.
-
Remove excess marinade from the chicken and discard the used marinade. Grill the chicken with the lid closed until well marked and its thickest part reaches 165°F, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Grill the prepared corn alongside it, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until tender and charred in spots, 10 to 12 minutes total.
-
Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and rest it for 5 minutes. Brush or rub the corn finish evenly over the hot grilled corn.
-
Slice the chicken and divide it between two plates. Add one ear of masala corn to each plate and serve.
