How to Make Alan's Tandoori Chicken

  1. Slice 2 lbs chicken breasts lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup tandoori paste, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1 cup plain yogurt.
  3. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 2-4 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.
  6. Grill or pan-fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Serve immediately with a refreshing green salad or a cool cucumber-yogurt raita (finely diced cucumber mixed with plain yogurt, salt, and pepper to taste).
