Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces ciabatta rolls
• 4 leaves lettuce leaves
• 2 pieces sliced tomatoes
• 0.5 pieces red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 pieces cucumber, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, tandoori masala, minced garlic, lemon juice, grated ginger, olive oil, 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 the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. If using a skillet, adjust the heat to prevent burning.

Step 5

Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 6

Toast the ciabatta rolls lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches by layering the lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, and cucumber slices on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll.

Step 8

Place the sliced chicken on top of the vegetables and close with the other half of the roll.

Step 9

Serve immediately, optionally with a side of dairy-free yogurt dip or chutney.
