Spiced chicken kebabs with chopped salad & flatbreads

Marinate chicken in yogurt, spices and lemon zest, then grill to make these flavourful chicken skewers. Serve in flatbreads with salad and cucumber yogurt

INGREDIENTS

200g Greek yogurt
½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
2 green cardamom pods, pods bashed and seeds finely ground (optional)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
pinch of chilli flakes, or to taste
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lemon, zested and halved
640g pack diced chicken thighs
1 cucumber, peeled, ½ coarsely grated, ½ finely chopped
1 Little Gem lettuce, thinly sliced
4 flatbreads
hot sauce, to serve (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1
In a bowl, combine half the yogurt with the spices, half the garlic, the lemon zest and ½ tsp salt. Tip in the chicken and stir well to coat. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins or overnight.
STEP 2
Mix the grated cucumber and the remaining garlic into the remaining yogurt, then season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside in the fridge.
STEP 3
Mix the finely chopped cucumber and lettuce together, then squeeze over one of the lemon halves and season with a good pinch of salt. Cut the remaining lemon half into quarters. Heat the grill to high or a large griddle pan over a high heat.
STEP 4
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal skewers, put on a tray and cook under a hot grill or in the griddle pan for 10-12 mins, turning often to ensure it cooks evenly and is charred in places. Warm the flatbreads under the grill or in a toaster.
STEP 5
Serve the chicken in the flatbreads with the chopped salad and cucumber yogurt. Drizzle with hot sauce before serving, if you like.
