Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish that is both flavorful and healthy. By adding a few ingredients, we can easily make it into a dish which is Zone diet friendly. This dish provides a good balance of macronutrients, with a high protein content from the chicken and a moderate amount of carbohydrates from the vegetables. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C, which is abundant in bell peppers. This makes it a healthy and delicious option for those following the Zone Diet.
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, tandoori spice blend, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Thread the mixed vegetables onto skewers and grill them for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
Serve the grilled tandoori chicken with mixed vegetable skewers.
