Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1 lb)
2 tbsp tandoori masala
1 cup plain whole-fat yogurt
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tbsp melted butter
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 garlic bread loaf (thick slices or artisanal)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine yogurt and tandoori masala until smooth. Coat chicken breasts well and marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight preferred).
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) with nice grill marks.
Slice the garlic bread loaf in half lengthwise. Mix melted butter with minced garlic and brush generously over each side.
Broil garlic bread for 2-3 minutes until golden brown; watch closely to avoid burning.
Once grilled chicken is rested, slice into strips and arrange over toasted garlic bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
