About Tandoori chicken breast

Tandoori Chicken Breast is a popular dish hailing from Indian cuisine, renowned for its vibrant flavors and smoky aroma. This dish features boneless chicken breast marinated in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, and a blend of spices like cumin, turmeric, paprika, and garam masala, before being cooked in a traditional clay oven called a tandoor or roasted in an oven. It's naturally high in protein, supporting muscle growth and repair, while being relatively low in fat when skinless chicken is used. The use of turmeric provides anti-inflammatory benefits, and the yogurt marinade aids in digestion. However, depending on preparation, added oils or excessive sodium in spice blends can impact heart health. Pair it with fresh vegetables or whole grains for a well-balanced meal. Tandoori Chicken Breast combines rich flavors with nutritional benefits, making it a wholesome choice for those seeking flavorful, health-conscious eating.
