Dice chicken breasts and marinate them in a mix of curry spices and yogurt. Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet until golden and juicy. While it sizzles, slice veggies (like red onions and cucumbers) and mix up a tangy yogurt sauce with garlic, lemon, and mint. Warm your flatbreads, pile on the chicken, veggies, and sauce, then wrap it all up. Bonus points for pairing with crispy fries or a fresh salad on the side. |
