Tandoori Naan Chicken Sandwiches Recipe

Combine two Indian classics–tandoori chicken and naan–in a flavorful sandwich topped with mint, cilantro, onion, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Look for the naan bread in Indian markets or in the bakery section of the grocery store.

1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 pound chicken tenders, patted dry

4 medium plain or garlic-flavored naan breads, about 4 oz. each

2 tablespoons butter

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

1/2 cup thinly slivered red onion

4 ounces feta cheese, sliced

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

Step 1

Whisk together yogurt, seasonings, and oil in a medium bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat. Let marinate 20 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat broiler. Spread chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until cooked through, 8 minutes. Meanwhile, continue with recipe.

Step 3

Dab naan with a little butter on each side, spread on a rimmed baking sheet, and place in oven on rack below chicken; cook until toasted and crisped, about 8 minutes.

Step 4

Cut naan in half crosswise and make sandwiches with naan, chicken, tomatoes, onion, feta, mint, and cilantro. Cut each in half if large.

Step 5
