Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 150 grams Plain yogurt (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 slices Gluten-free bread
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 piece Cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and all the ground spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, and salt.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to absorb.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through and slightly charred.
While the chicken is cooking, toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden and crisp.
Once the chicken is cooked, begin to assemble the sandwich. Place a lettuce leaf on one slice of toasted bread, followed by a few pieces of cooked chicken tikka.
Top with tomato, cucumber, and red onion slices for added freshness and crunch.
Close the sandwich with another slice of toasted bread.
Repeat the process to make the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
