INGREDIENTS:
2kg Chicken breast, cut into cubes
For the marinade:
8 tsp olive oil (adjust this depending on your daily allowance)
1 tbsp Pathak’s Tandoori Paste
100g 0% Fat Total Fage Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp finely chopped/crushed garlic
1 tbsp finely chopped/crushed ginger
3-4 finely chopped green chillies (optional)
Handful of finely chopped fresh coriander (optional)
METHOD OF COOKING:
- In a large glass bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well.
- Cover and marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook chicken, preheat oven to 200o
- Line a large baking tray with foil (makes cleaning up a lot easier!) and soak 10 wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes (prevents them from burning when cooking).
- Thread chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little gap in between the chicken pieces, and place skewers on the lined baking tray.
- Bake chicken in the oven for 10 minutes, turn over, and cook for another 10-15 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Squeeze extra lemon juice over chicken if required before serving.
Are there any general substitutions that can be made? (vegetarian or meat options, depending):
