    • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    • 1/4 teaspoon coriander
    • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 2 ounces fat-free plain yogurt

    • Coarse chopped basil, to taste

Directions

Season chicken with spices, cover or put into plastic bag, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
