Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 120 g Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 almond flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 fresh lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cucumber, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on the sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
While the chicken is baking, lightly toast the almond flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of butter until golden on both sides.
Once the chicken is done, assemble the sandwiches: Lay one tortilla, add a lettuce leaf, a few pieces of chicken tikka, and top with sliced cucumber and tomato.
Fold the tortilla over the filling or serve open-faced as desired. Serve immediately.
