In a small bowl, combine 150 grams of the Greek yogurt with the tandoori spice mix and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Add the chicken breast fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the salad ingredients: slice the cucumber into thin rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and wash the mixed salad leaves. Set these aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly charred. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad leaves, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss gently with salt and black pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 50 grams of Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of water, a pinch of salt, and finely chopped fresh coriander to create a tangy dressing.
Plate the salad mixture, top with the warm tandoori chicken strips, and drizzle with the yogurt-coriander dressing.
Serve immediately while the chicken is warm, and enjoy a flavorful healthy meal perfect for your Day 4 diet plan.
