Let’s dive right into the recipe so you can make it at home! 😋

Ingredients You’ll Need 🍽️ Bread with Chicken Tikka

• 300g boneless chicken (cut into small cubes)
• Salt (to taste)
• Red chili powder (for some heat)
• Oil (for cooking)
• Ginger-garlic paste (for that amazing flavor)
• Kashmiri Lal Mirch (adds color and mild heat)
• Bread slices (for making the pockets)
• Egg (to coat the bread)
• Breadcrumbs (for the crispy coating)
• Mayonnaise (4 tbsp for a creamy filling)
• Double cream (2 tbsp for extra richness)
• Ketchup (2 tbsp for a tangy twist)
• Lettuce (3 tbsp for some crunch)
• Cooking oil (for frying)

How to Make It? Let’s Get Cooking! 🍳

Alright, let’s start preparing this mouth-watering dish step by step. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully for the best results. 😊

Step 1: Marinating the Chicken

The key to a flavorful Tikka Chicken Bread Pocket is in the marination.

• In a mixing bowl, add the boneless chicken pieces.
• Sprinkle salt and red chili powder to taste.
• Add ginger-garlic paste to the chicken for that rich aroma and flavor.
• Sprinkle Kashmiri Lal Mirch (it’s not only beautiful in color, but it also gives a mild heat).
• Pour a little oil and mix everything together thoroughly. Make sure the chicken is well-coated with all the spices.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. This will allow all the flavors to seep into the chicken, making it super delicious. 😍

Step 2: Preparing the Bread Pockets

Now, let’s work on the bread. The bread pockets are going to hold all the yummy filling, and we want them crispy on the outside, soft on the inside!

• Take your bread slices and use a rolling pin (or roti roller) to flatten them out. This makes the bread more pliable and easier to work with.
• Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter or any other shape to cut the bread into fun shapes.
• Coat each heart-shaped piece of bread with egg wash (just beat an egg and dip the bread in it) to give it a beautiful golden finish when fried.
• Dip the egg-coated bread in breadcrumbs to give it that crispiness we all love! Set them aside.

Step 3: Making the Filling

While the bread slices are being prepared, let’s focus on the filling. The filling is what makes this dish truly special. We’re going for a creamy, tangy, and flavorful experience with these ingredients.

• In a separate bowl, mix together mayonnaise (4 tbsp), double cream (2 tbsp), and ketchup (2 tbsp). This mixture will give the filling a rich, creamy texture with just the right amount of tang.
• Add the lettuce (3 tbsp) to this mixture for some crunch. It adds a fresh contrast to the richness of the chicken and sauce.

Once the chicken is fully marinated and ready, cook it over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. It should be tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. When done, chop the chicken into smaller pieces and mix it with your creamy filling.

Step 4: Frying the Bread

Now comes the fun part – frying the bread pockets!

• Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. You want it hot enough to fry the bread until crispy but not too hot that it burns the coating.
• Fry the heart-shaped bread slices until they are golden and crispy on both sides. Remove them from the pan and set them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 5: Assembling the Bread Pockets

Once the bread is fried to perfection, it’s time to assemble our Tikka Chicken Bread Pocket.

• Open up each fried heart-shaped bread. You can make a little pocket by gently pressing on the center.
• Fill the bread pocket with the chicken filling (chicken, mayonnaise, cream, lettuce, and ketchup). Don’t be shy – pack it in there!
• Close the bread pocket, and voilà! You have a crispy, flavorful, and creamy Tikka Chicken Bread Pocket ready to serve.
