Steps

1

Wash and cut the chicken breasts into cubes. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, yogurt, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, salt, spices, and sliced onion. Mix well to marinate.
2

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or longer if you prefer, to let the flavors soak in.
3

Place the marinated chicken in a Pyrex or any oven-safe baking dish. Pour 1/3 cup vegetable oil over the top.
4

Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) on the middle rack for about 1 hour or a little longer, until the chicken is cooked through.
5

Remove the foil and return to the oven to brown the top.
6

Once browned, take it out of the oven and serve.
7

Serve with appetizers.
8

Hope you enjoy it.
