Best Recipe for Almost Tandoori Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon turmeric, a palmful
- 1 tablespoon coriander
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin, 1/2 a palmful
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/3 palmful
- 1 lime, zested
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 green apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced into matchsticks
- 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and very thinly sliced lengthwise
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
- 4 pieces naan bread, plain or flavored, store-bought, warmed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

- Combine the apple, tomatoes and scallions in a serving bowl. Add the lime juice, oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve with apple-tomato topping and warm bread.
