INGREDIENTS


1 piece(s) (1- inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut up


1 (large onion) sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds


1 container(s) (8 ounces) plain low-fat yogurt


1 tablespoon(s) sweet paprika


1 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice


1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin


1 ground coriander


1/2 teaspoon(s) salt


1/4 teaspoon(s) ground red pepper (cayenne)

4 (about 1 pound) small skinless, boneless chicken-breast halves, lightly pounded to even thickness


1 bag(s) (6 ounces) prewashed baby spinach leaves





DIRECTIONS


1. In mini food processor, with sharp side of blade facing up, process ginger and 1 small onion slice (reserve remaining onion slices for grilling later) until finely chopped. Add yogurt, paprika, lime juice, cumin, coriander, salt, ground red pepper, and cloves, and process until smooth.


2. Reserve 1/2 cup yogurt mixture to brush on onions during grilling. Place chicken-breast halves and remaining yogurt mixture in medium bowl and toss to coat chicken.


3. Grease large ridged grill pan and heat over medium heat until very hot but not smoking. Add onion slices and cook about 15 minutes, until browned on both sides and tender, turning onion slices over with tongs halfway through cooking time.


4. During last 3 minutes of grilling, heavily brush both sides of onion slices with reserved 1/2 cup yogurt mixture, turning to brown onions. Transfer onions to platter lined with spinach leaves. Scrape grill pan to remove burned bits; wipe clean.


5. Grease grill pan again and heat over medium heat until very hot but not smoking. With tongs, place chicken in grill pan and cook about 12 to 14 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time, until browned on both sides and juices run clear when thickest part of breast is pierced with tip of knife.


6. Transfer chicken to cutting board and slice each breast diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange sliced chicken on platter with onions and spinach.
