Instructions
1.
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, tandoori spice mix, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
3.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
4.
Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
5.
While the chicken is baking, cook the brown rice according to package instructions.
6.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking the rice, add the green peas to steam them.
7.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve the tandoori chicken over the rice and peas, garnished with fresh cilantro.
