Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 skinless chicken breasts - approx. 500 g
- 2 onions - sliced
- 6 pita pockets - warm
- fresh lettuce leaves to put into pita pockets
- 3 Tbsp capers
- 3 Tbsp green olives
- 200 g natural yoghurt
- 200 g tandori pasta or a package of tandori spice mix
- 2 tomatoes - sliced
- 5 Tbsp olive oil
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method:
1. Wash the chicken first and then cut into small chunks. Visible fat trimmed.
2. Put chicken into a separate dish and add marinade made from natural yoghurt, sea salt and pepper and tandoori pasta. Add olive oil. Stir well and leave chicken aside for minimum 2 hours in a refrigerator. You can also marinate it overnight for even a better flavor.
4. Once chicken is ready, place it together with a marinade to a pre-heated with olive oil pan on a medium heat. If you re-use marinade and cook your chicken in it - meat will be more tender and all juicy. Cook chicken for 10-15 minutes.
5. Put pita bread pockets in aluminium foil and leave in a pre-heated oven to 200 C for 5 minutes. That way your bread will be all nice and warm.
7. Stuff each pita with fresh lettuce leaves, add onion, capers, olives and tomato slices. Then place tandoori chicken into pita pockets.
8. Serve hot.
ENJOY!!!
