Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

Sandwiches
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
12 slices sourdough bread
Indian mayonnaise
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
1 jalapeño chili, seeded, minced
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • For Sandwiches:
  • Arrange boneless chicken breasts in single layer in large glass baking dish. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice: season with salt. Mix plain yogurt, chopped fresh ginger, chopped garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper and turmeric in medium bowl. Pour yogurt marinade over chicken breasts and turn to coat. Cover chicken and refrigerate 3 to 8 hours.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Remove chicken breasts from marinade (do not wipe clean). Grill or broil chicken until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cool slightly. (Chicken can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
  • Lightly toast (or grill) sourdough bread. Spread 1 side of each piece of bread generously with Indian Spiced Mayonnaise. Slice chicken breasts diagonally. Place slices of 1 breast atop each of 6 sourdough bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices. Cut chicken sandwiches in half. Serve sandwiches warm or at room temperature.
  • For Mayonnaise:
  • Combine 1 cup mint leaves, 1 cup cilantro leaves, minced jalapeño chili and chopped onion in work bowl of processor. Process until very finely chopped. Mix in cider vinegar. Add mayonnaise and process just until combined. Season mayonnaise to taste with salt and pepper. (Mayonnaise can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate.) Makes about 1 scant cup.

These sandwiches are the perfect summer meal. They're light and refreshing, but still filling. I love to pack them for lunch on hot days.

These sandwiches are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the mint chutney, and they'll eat anything that's wrapped in naan bread.

I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches, but these were really good. The chicken was really tender and flavorful. The mint chutney was also really good. I would definitely make these again for a party or potluck.

These sandwiches are the perfect way to use up leftover tandoori chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make sandwiches for lunch during the week. They're always a hit with my family.

I love how easy these sandwiches are to make. I can have them on the table in about 30 minutes. They're also really versatile. I've used different types of bread and toppings, and they've always turned out great.

These sandwiches were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices to the marinade next time. Otherwise, they were pretty good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the mint chutney was refreshing.

I've made these sandwiches twice now, and both times they've been a hit. The chicken is always tender and flavorful. The mint chutney is also really good. I like to serve these sandwiches with a side of basmati rice.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I used parsley in the mint chutney instead. It turned out great! The sandwiches were still really flavorful and delicious. I would definitely make them again.

These sandwiches were really easy to make. I marinated the chicken overnight, which really helped to infuse it with flavor. I grilled the chicken on my outdoor grill, but you could also cook it in a grill pan or in the oven. The mint chutney was also

These sandwiches were a little too spicy for me, but they were still pretty good. I think I would use less chili powder next time. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out great. I also really liked the mint chutney. It was

These chicken sandwiches were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The tangy yogurt marinade infused the chicken with so much flavor. I grilled the chicken until it was slightly charred on the outside and cooked through on the inside. It was perfect! The
