Chipotle Chicken Masala Ingredients

Method

Chipotle Chicken Masala Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, chipotle peppers, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or cook in the skillet for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Masala Onions

    In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced red onion and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Citrus Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    In a serving platter, place mixed greens. Top with sliced chicken, American cheese, and caramelized onions. Drizzle with citrus vinaigrette before serving.
