Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 8 slices whole grain sandwich bread
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato

Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine coconut yogurt, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, turmeric powder, and salt.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, stirring well to coat the chicken thoroughly. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.
Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the grill/skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly.
Spread dairy-free mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
Assemble the sandwich by layering lettuce, tomato slices, chicken tikka strips, and red onion on a slice of bread. Top with another slice of bread to close the sandwich.
Slice the sandwiches diagonally for easy serving. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Chicken Tikka Sandwich!
