Ingredients:

- .

Preparation:
Cut chicken into pieces and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine lemon juice, garlic, curry powder, onion and oil in a small bowl. Add to the chicken in the bag. Seal the bag and squeeze the bag so all the chicken pieces are coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Cook onion on medium heat until softened. Sprinkle curry powder into skillet and stir into onion.

*I use Fage brand Greek yogurt, which is strained already. You can strain nonfat plain yogurt by lining a sieve/strainer with kitchen paper, a coffee filter or cheesecloth, and placing it over a small bowl. Empty a pot of yogurt into the sieve. Refrigerate and leave for at least two hours. If the yogurt contains gelatin or pectin, it may not strain as well.
