The flavors were fantastic, but I need to work on the technique. The sandwiches came out more soggy than I would have liked. Next time I will try grilling the chicken and putting the bread on the pizza stone to crisp it more. I will definitely make this again because it was so tasty!
Tandoori Naan Chicken Sandwiches
Combine two Indian classics – tandoori chicken and naan – in a flavorful sandwich topped with mint, cilantro, onion, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Look for the naan bread in Indian markets or in the bakery section of the grocery store.
