Ingredients:  
-1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used greek)

-1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
-1 tbsp olive oil
-2 cloves garlic (I used more)

Directions:
Directions:
-Mix the marinade ingredients (yogurt, lemon juice, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper) together in a medium sized bowl. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and thoroughly coat with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator from 2 hours to overnight.

-Heat your grill on high heat if you are using a gas grill, or prepare coals for direct heat if you are using charcoal. Allow for one side of the grill to be the "cool" side. If you do not have a grill you can use a cast-iron grill pan on your stove.

-Grill the chicken breasts over direct high heat a couple minutes on one side. Then turn them over and move them to the cool side of the grill. Cover and cook for a few minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through.

-Do not overcook or the chicken will dry out.

Personal Notes:
I marinated the chicken overnight and it was very tasty. I would recommend making some type of sauce with it though. Maybe a yogurt sauce or tzatziki sauce.
