The Soup Diva

• 4-6 chicken thighs or breast pieces
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp Liquid Smoke
• salt and black pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients except oil and chicken in bowl; add chicken and coat well. Cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes to 4 hours. Coat cast iron or similar skillet with oil on medium high; once pan is shimmering, add chicken in single layer. Turn once chicken is browned to desired level. Reduce heat to medium; remove pan from heat when second side is cooked.
