Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Mix the yogurt, oil, lemon juice, oregano, coriander, paprika, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until fully blended. Add the chicken and mix to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers, about 5 pieces per skewer, taking care not to pack the chicken pieces too tightly.

1 lemon
1/4-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 pinch dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces

2 red peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces

  • Pour in enough olive oil to completely cover pieces, squeeze the lemon over them, and then add the garlic, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, and a couple of twists of cracked pepper.

  • Assemble kebabs, and grill until chicken is no longer pink, about 10-15 minutes depending on your grill.
  • Don't overcook them, though.

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless chicken breasts , cut into bitesize chunks
2 red peppers , cut into chunks
1 red onion , cut into chunks
4 flatbread or pittas
chilli sauce and shredded lettuce to serve
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp mild or hot curry powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp tomato purée
150g natural yogurt , plus more to serve
1 tbsp vegetable oil , plus a little for brushing
1 garlic clove , crushed
2 tbsp lemon juice , plus wedges to serve

Steps:

  • Mix the marinade ingredients with some seasoning. Add the chunks of chicken, mix well, cover and chill. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Soak 12 bamboo skewers in cold water - this will prevent them burning when cooking (or use metal skewers). Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers (discard any remaining marinade), alternating with pieces of pepper and onion. Brush the skewers lightly with oil and season.
  • Heat the grill to high. Grill the kebabs for 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until golden and lightly charred. The veg should be tender, and the chicken cooked through, so it easily slides off the skewers.
  • Warm the flatbreads in a griddle pan or dry frying pan on a medium heat until golden and toasted. Serve with the kebabs, lettuce, chilli sauce, extra yogurt and squeeze over some lemon just before eating.
