Tandoori chicken salad sandwich

Tandoori chicken is one of our favorite chicken recipes. It’s traditionally marinated with yogurt, garam masala, and other spices. Then, grilled on the bone until lightly charred. Because we don’t have a grill, we’ve had to find creative ways to enjoy those flavors. The chicken can either be baked or sautéed if you’re using chicken breasts or thighs.

This week, we went a bit further and made a delicious chicken salad sandwich with our tandoori chicken breasts. It was the bomb! Try the recipe at home.
