Ingredients

For the tandoori chicken:

400g chicken tenders (about 4-5), cubed

½ cup plain, full fat yogurt

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp salt (or to taste)

1 tsp red chili powder

1 tsp chili flakes (reduce as needed)

½ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp coriander powder

½ tsp cumin powder

½ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp garam masala

Optional: 1-2 tbsp Shan tandoori masala

2 tbsp oil, butter, or ghee for cooking

Handful of wooden smoking chips for smoking

For the garlic bread:

6–8 garlic cloves mixed with 2 tbsp olive oil

½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)

1 egg

¼ cup milk (60g)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp paprika

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

12 King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sheet Rolls (or substitute with French baguette)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Chopped fresh parsley for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, red chili powder, chili flakes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, onion powder, and garam masala (and tandoori masala if using). Add cubed chicken and mix to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat oil, butter, or ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Optionally, add smoking chips for a smoky flavor.
  3. Prepare garlic bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix garlic and olive oil. Brush garlic-oil mixture over the top of the Hawaiian rolls (or baguette).
  4. Prepare the butter mixture: In another bowl, combine melted butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and parsley. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Assemble the garlic bread: Place the bread on a baking sheet. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the rolls. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and cooked tandoori chicken.
  6. Bake: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and rolls are golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, use a stovetop smoker or add smoking chips to the pan.

Use gluten-free rolls for a gluten-free option.

Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder and chili flakes.

For a crispier garlic bread, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking.

You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a mix of both for a different flavor.
