Kebab-style grilled chicken breast fillets with rice and chives.

The Simple Ingredients:

Ingredients for recipe: chicken breast fillets, yoghurt, garlic, lemon, seasonings, mustard and sun-dried tomato paste.

I love making grilled chicken this way! The sauce is very reminiscent of a Turkish chicken shish kebab which I adore. Yoghurt is a key part of this recipe but if you don’t have any to hand then feel free to use milk instead! 1 cup of milk is enough to balance out the 2 tbsp yoghurt in this recipe.

I also live in the UK and realise English mustard is difficult to find across the world! A good alternative to this would be dijon mustard.

How to make the chicken fillets?

In a small mixing bowl, combine the chicken breast fillets, crushed garlic, yoghurt, sun-dried tomato paste, salt, cumin, black pepper, olive oil, lemon juice and mustard. Mix until combined, ideally by hand. Cover the bowl with cling film, aluminium foil or a lid and leave in the fridge overnight to marinate. 

Cook on a pre-heated grill pan, griddle or BBQ grill – your choice. Cook for around 10 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are fully cooked through and seared. I recommend flipping over every 3-4 minutes to make sure the chicken doesn’t stick to the grill. Enjoy!
