Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Coconut yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 Butter lettuce leaves
- 1 Cucumber, diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine coconut yogurt, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, paprika, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
Preheat the grill or a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush with the remaining olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Step 5
Prepare the cucumber mint dressing by blending the diced cucumber, fresh mint, and fresh cilantro in a blender until smooth.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwich, take one butter lettuce leaf, layer it with a portion of the sliced chicken, and drizzle some cucumber mint dressing on top.
Step 7
Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling like a wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four sandwiches.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo Chicken Tikka Sandwiches immediately. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful meal!
