Score your chicken breasts deeply on both sides to help the marinade penetrate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the scored chicken to the bowl with the yogurt mixture and mix thoroughly to coat all pieces. For best results, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
