1. Collect lime juice in a large bowl. Add greek yogurt, salt and pepper. Stir in spices, ginger, garlic and olive oil.
2. Coat chicken with this mixture, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour minimum.
3. Preheat oven at 460°F (240°C). Transfer chicken pieces to a baking dish or oven-proof skillet and bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes, turning occasionally.
4. Turn on the broiler, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to char the chicken a little bit more if you want. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
Notes: Serve over white rice. You can substitute basil or mint for cilantro.

Good recipe, but does not look like the picture, no sauce! Baked on top of cauliflower and it had more flavor that the chicken did.
