method

  1. Cut the chicken breasts all the way through, starting on the long side so you end up with two individual pieces. Cover with cling film and lightly flatten out the halved chicken breasts using a tenderising mallet or rolling pin.

  2. Rub the chicken with a pinch of salt and the lemon juice, set aside for at least 15 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile in a food processor combine the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

  4. Marinate the chicken in the yogurt for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally overnight.

  5. Preheat the grill and place the chicken on a baking tray. Grill the chicken, turning occasionally until caramelised approximately 5-10 minutes.

  6. Sliced the chicken and serve with rice, top with lettuce and yogurt.
