Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 200 grams plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced cucumber
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced red onion
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces buns
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, tandoori masala, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
Step 3
Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and drizzle with olive oil. Grill or bake the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway, until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Step 5
Let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Step 6
Lightly toast the buns on the grill or in the oven for a few minutes.
Step 7
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on each bottom bun.
Step 8
Layer each bun with a piece of lettuce, sliced tandoori chicken, cucumber slices, red onion slices, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Top with the other half of the bun and serve the sandwiches warm.
