Tandoori spiced chicken salad





We were invited to a bbq last weekend and I made this delicious tandoori spiced chicken salad. This chicken salad is best made 1 day in advance so the flavors have time to combine.

Pickled lime, mint and cilantro chutney can be purchased at an Indian grocery store.

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 Tbs. tandoori spice
2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 Tbs. hot pickled lime
2 tsp. mint chutney
2 tsp. cilantro chutney
1 C. plain Greek yogurt
1/2 C. dried cranberries
1 C. finely diced celery

Preheat oven to 450. Combine tandoori, paprika and salt in a bowl and rub on chicken. Wrap chicken in foil packets and bake for 15-18 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. In a large bowl, combine lime, mint, cilantro and Greek yogurt. Add celery and cranberries. Shred chicken with 2 forks and add to bowl. Stir to combine, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
