Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the curry mixture. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet with the smooth side up. Lightly spray with vegetable oil spray. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Meanwhile, for the cucumber raita, grate the cucumber. Put in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Let drain for at least 5 minutes. Squeeze the cucumber to remove excess liquid.

    This chicken is moist and flavorful! I love the Raita to go along with it. It's really 'cooling'. Yummy recipe! - 6/21/09

    O.K.
    I thought the raita was sour and didn't compliment the chicken well. It was okay, but I won't make it again. - 5/3/12
