Ingredients

• 400 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 120 grams Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 pieces Bread slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 medium Red onion
• 4 tablespoons Cilantro-mint mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips for even marination and cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, turmeric powder, lemon juice, and salt, mixing them well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings and clean the lettuce leaves; set aside.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Cook the marinated chicken strips on the grill pan for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked and slightly charred. Set aside.

Step 7

Lightly butter the bread slices on one side.

Step 8

Place the buttered side down on a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat to toast the bread until golden brown.

Step 9

Spread 1 tablespoon of cilantro-mint mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each bread slice.

Step 10

On four slices, layer lettuce, a few slices of grilled chicken, tomato, and onion.

Step 11

Top with the remaining bread slices, cilantro-mint mayonnaise side down, to form sandwiches.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Chicken Tikka Sandwiches.
