Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 120 grams Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 pieces Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 medium Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Cilantro-mint mayonnaise
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips for even marination and cooking.
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, turmeric powder, lemon juice, and salt, mixing them well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the chicken is marinating, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings and clean the lettuce leaves; set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the marinated chicken strips on the grill pan for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked and slightly charred. Set aside.
Lightly butter the bread slices on one side.
Place the buttered side down on a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat to toast the bread until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cilantro-mint mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each bread slice.
On four slices, layer lettuce, a few slices of grilled chicken, tomato, and onion.
Top with the remaining bread slices, cilantro-mint mayonnaise side down, to form sandwiches.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Chicken Tikka Sandwiches.
