Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 150 grams Plain yogurt (gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 slices Gluten-free bread
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 piece Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 piece Cucumber, sliced
• 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and all the ground spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to absorb.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through and slightly charred.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, toast the gluten-free bread slices until golden and crisp.

Step 5

Once the chicken is cooked, begin to assemble the sandwich. Place a lettuce leaf on one slice of toasted bread, followed by a few pieces of cooked chicken tikka.

Step 6

Top with tomato, cucumber, and red onion slices for added freshness and crunch.

Step 7

Close the sandwich with another slice of toasted bread.

Step 8

Repeat the process to make the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
