Tandoori Chicken Roll-ups
September 10, 2007
*This Indian-inspired yogurt-based marinade tenderizes and flavours the chicken. Tuck a few lettuce greens into the
roll-ups for added crunch. This dish is also delicious with turkey and seafood.
Ingredients (Serves 6)
| 1-1/2 | lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat |
| 3 | tbsp extra-virgin olive oil |
| 18 | flour tortillas, folded in half or in quarters, and warmed |
Tandoori Marinade:
| 1-3/4 | cups low-fat plain yogurt |
| 2-1/2 | tbsp minced fresh ginger |
| 1-1/2 | tbsp minced garlic |
| 1 | tsp dried chili flakes, or to taste |
| 1-1/4 | tsp ground cumin |
| 1-1/4 | tsp dried oregano |
| 1/2 | tsp freshly ground black pepper |
Mint-Yogurt Dressing:
| 1-1/2 | cups plain yogurt |
| 1/2 | tsp ground cumin |
| 3 | tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves |
| 1 | tsp salt, or to taste |
Instructions
- Toss chicken breasts in Tandoori Marinade to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes, or longer covered in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a gas grill, and brush with olive oil. Arrange the meat 3 inches from heat, cover, and grill until cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- While chicken is cooking, pour Mint-Yogurt Dressing into a serving bowl and arrange flour tortillas on a serving plate.
- Cut cooked chicken into thin slices and arrange on a platter.
- To serve, arrange slices of chicken in a flour tortilla, spoon some dressing on top, roll up, and eat with your fingers. Serve with a side vegetable or a salsa.
