Ingredients

  • Yogurt: 150g pot low-fat natural yogurt
  • Coriander: handful chopped coriander leaves
  • Chicken Breast: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • Cherry Tomato: 250g pack cherry tomatoes
  • Red Onion: 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Lemon: juice 1 lemon
  • Cucumber: 1/2 cucumber, halved lengthways, deseeded and sliced
  • Curry Paste: 2 tbsp hot curry paste
  • Chapati: 4 wholemeal chapatis, warmed, to serve
  • Lamb'S Lettuce: 50g pack lamb's lettuce or pea shoots

Directions

  1. Put 8 wooden skewers in a bowl of water to soak. Mix the yogurt and curry paste together in a bowl, then add the chicken (if you have time, marinate for an hr or so). In a large bowl, toss together the cucumber, red onion, coriander and lemon juice. Chill until ready to serve.
  2. Shake off any excess marinade, then thread the chicken pieces and cherry tomatoes onto the pre-soaked skewers. Cook under a medium grill for 15-20 mins, turning from time to time, until cooked through and nicely browned.
  3. Stir the lettuce or pea shoots into the salad, then divide between 4 plates. Top each serving with 2 chicken tikka skewers and serve with the warm chapatis.
