Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 4 pieces Naan bread
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Cucumber (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Red onion (sliced)
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 minced clove of garlic.
Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly covered. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the yogurt cucumber sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (excess water squeezed out), 1 minced clove of garlic, lemon juice, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Cook the chicken breasts for approximately 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the naan bread on a skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
Assemble the sandwiches. Lay a piece of naan flat, spread a generous layer of the yogurt cucumber sauce, and layer on lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, and the sliced chicken. Fold the naan over to create a sandwich.
Repeat the process with the remaining naan and ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Naan Chicken Sandwich!
