Spicy yogurt Chicken and Tofu


So this recipe was just ok. I can tell why others might like it a lot, but it's not at the top of my list. I just think the Frank's hot sauce was a little overpowering and you know me with my low tolerance for spicy...I just couldn't taste the spices that I put in the marinade, especially cumin which I was super excited for. However, if you're looking for that buffalo wing type sauce, this is definitely where to look. I made broccoli with this dish as well and I didn't realize how much I missed it! Cooked broccoli is soo yummy; I must find a good recipe to use it in, where broccoli is the star. I'll quit rambling and tell you how this was made.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup of yogurt (The recipe called for 1 cup but I added half a cup because I'm a wuss)
1 cup of Frank's hot sauce
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 large chicken breast (cut in 1 inch cubes)
1 package of medium firm tofu

Instructions:
  1. Mix yogurt, hot sauce, cumin, coriander, chili powder, oregano, and black pepper together.
  2. Pour over the cut up chicken and tofu as a marinade. (I used separate bowls just in case the raw chicken got to the tofu)
  3. Let marinade overnight.
  4. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 450 degrees.

So, I want to make so many more recipes; particularly one with broccoli in it and another with eggplant but I can't seem to find good recipes so I will keep looking! Next? I have a breakfast burrito that I made, even though it was supposed to be something completely different. ;)
