5 from 7 votes
This delicious meal combines beautiful marinated chicken and soft pillowy naan bread. The barbecued char on the chicken is perfectly contrasted by the flavourful juicy interior. The crisp tart pickled onion compliments the tender chicken, while the cilantro lime yogurt sauce brings it all together. This Yogurt Marinated Chicken Naan is bright, fresh, and sumptuous.
