Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons tikka masala paste (or powder)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjusted for spice preference)

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

8 small soft flour tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced cucumber

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup thinly sliced red onion

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Optional: Raita or mint yogurt sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, tikka masala paste, lemon juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for optimal flavor infusion.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let any excess marinade drip off. Cook the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing the chicken into thin, bite-sized strips.

      Assemble the Sliders: Take a tortilla and layer a generous amount of shredded lettuce in the center. Top with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Add several strips of the cooked chicken on top and finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor.

        Finish and Serve: If desired, drizzle a little raita or mint yogurt sauce over the assembled toppings for extra creaminess. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, then slice it in half diagonally to create sliders. Arrange the sliders on a serving platter, presenting them in an attractive manner.

          Garnish and Enjoy: Provide additional raita or mint yogurt sauce for dipping. Serve the sliders immediately for the best taste, or secure them with toothpicks for easy serving at parties or gatherings.
