1
In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cinnamon, oregano, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
2
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 4 thinner cutlets so they cook evenly. Add them to the marinade and turn to coat.
3
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
4
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Wipe off most of the marinade and lay the chicken in the pan.
5
Cook 5 to 6 minutes per side, until browned and the thickest part reads 165°F. Lower the heat a little if the yogurt starts to scorch.
6
Let the chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve with rice, salad, or in pita.
