Delicious barbecue chicken atop crisp vegetable ribbons.
Ingredients:
  • 4 (about 800g) chicken breast fillets
  • 40.00 ml Greek-style yoghurt
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 15.00 gm sweet paprika
  • 20.00 ml dried oregano
  • 16.00 gm brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • Natural yoghurt, extra, to serve
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers
  • 2 carrots, peeled, trimmed
  • 1 red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 250.00 ml coriander leaves
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 15.90 gm lemon juice
  • 2.50 gm sweet paprika
Instructions:
  • 1. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally with a sharp knife. 2. In a large bowl, mix yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, sugar, and chilli. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Add chicken to the bowl and coat well with the spice mixture. 4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
  • Preheat a barbecue or char-grill pan on high after lightly greasing it with oil. Cook the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until beautifully golden and fully cooked. Rest the chicken on a plate, covering it with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
  • For the salad, create cucumber and carrot ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Combine them in a large bowl with onion and coriander. Whisk oil, lemon juice, and paprika together, season with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the salad. Gently toss to combine, then distribute among serving plates. Top with chicken and serve with extra yogurt, if desired.
