Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons tandoori spice mix
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 2 peaches, sliced
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken breasts by mixing tandoori spice mix with yogurt in a bowl, ensuring the chicken is completely coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The chicken should have nice char marks and be fully cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad base by washing and drying the mixed greens. Place them in a large serving bowl.
- Slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges. Thinly slice the red onion and set aside.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice the chicken into thin strips.
- Arrange the sliced peaches, red onion, and grilled chicken strips over the mixed greens.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
- Create a quick dressing by whisking olive oil and balsamic vinegar together. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm, enjoying the contrast of warm spiced chicken with cool, fresh salad ingredients.
Tips
- To ensure the best results for this recipe, make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes to allow the tandoori spice mix to penetrate deep into the meat. Also, don't overcrowd the grill or grill pan, as this can lower the temperature and prevent the chicken from cooking evenly. Finally, be gentle when combining the salad ingredients to avoid bruising the mixed greens, and serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting temperatures and textures.
