Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tandoori spice mix
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 head of romaine or butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup yogurt sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the yogurt, tandoori spice mix, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
