Chicken Baked In Yogurt

This is a recipe from my mom, but I don't know where she got it. It's an odd combination, but it's very flavorful and low calorie and low fat.

4 chicken breasts, bone in, skin removed
1c. plain low fat yogurt
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (I like a little more)
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 c green onions (for garnish)

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Mix yogurt and spices together. Coat chicken with mixture, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Preheat oven to 325. Arrange chicken in baking dish and spoon over any remaining sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour. Garnish with green onions.

I like to serve with broccolini sauteed with a little olive oil, garlic, and white balsamic vinegar and a side of couscous.
