Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-­inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-­garlic paste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 4 teaspoons tandoori masala
  • 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (such as grapeseed), plus more for grill grates
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
  • 6 (10-inch) metal or wooden skewers
  • 6 (8-inch) flatbreads (such as naan)
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or melted unsalted butter
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/3 cup green chutney

Steps

  1. Stir together chicken, ginger-­garlic paste, lime juice, yogurt, tandoori masala, oil, vinegar, chile powder, salt, and garam masala in a large bowl until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat grill to high (450°F to 500°F). Thread chicken evenly onto skewers, leaving about 1 inch of space at top and bottom of each skewer; discard marinade. Brush grill grates with oil. Place skewers on oiled grates over direct heat; grill, covered, until grill marks form and chicken releases easily from grates, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn skewers; grill, covered, until lightly charred and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer skewers to unlit side of grill to keep warm.
  3. Brush 1 side of each flatbread evenly with ghee. Place flatbreads, buttered sides up, on oiled grates over direct heat. Grill, uncovered, until lightly charred on bottom, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip bread, and grill until lightly charred and warmed through, about 1 minute.
  4. Slide chicken evenly off skewers onto buttered sides of each flatbread. Top evenly with red onion and cilantro; drizzle evenly with green chutney. Roll tightly, and serve immediately.
