Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 seedless cucumber, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons garam masala
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mango chutney
1 red jalapeno or Fresno chile pepper (1/2 chopped, 1/2 sliced; remove seeds for less heat)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
Juice of 1 to 2 limes
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 3 medium)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 pieces naan bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the cucumber, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Stir in the yogurt and set aside. Combine the chutney, chopped jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice in a separate bowl; stir to combine.

THAI-STYLE COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN TACOS



Thai-Style Coconut Curry Chicken Tacos image

This weeknight chicken dish takes advantage of super flavorful jarred curry paste and pairs it with silky coconut milk to create a meal that comes together in just 20 minutes. Each step in this deceptively simple dish coaxes maximum flavor out of relatively few ingredients: Toasting the curry paste in the pan concentrates its taste, searing the chicken in the mixture ensures it's properly coated, and simmering in creamy coconut milk tenderizes the meat. A splash of lime juice and a spoonful of pico de gallo brighten and lighten the rich curry. Fold the mixture into tacos or try the curry chicken as a topping for grain bowls, cauliflower rice, sautéed broccoli or leafy greens.

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced (optional)
