Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a processor blend 1-1/2 cups plain yogurt with the next 9 ingredients (the lemon juice to cayenne pepper) until smooth and well blended; transfer to a large bowl; mix in the remaining 1 cup yogurt with a wooden spoon. Add in the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours.
