The perfectly spiced chicken

The marinade is the most important component of this recipe since it’s where all the flavour will come from. Warm and aromatic spices – garam masala, cumin, leaf masala, and garlic – will be used together with Greek yoghurt. The yoghurt adds a yummy creaminess to the spicy chicken.

If possible, marinate the chicken for up to two hours, however, if you are pressed for time, try marinating it for at least 30 minutes. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful the chicken will be. And as the meat absorbs the Greek yoghurt, the more tender and juicy the strips become.

Keep the sides simple

The chicken strips won’t be completed with simple yet delicious sides – broccoli and Basmati rice.

For this recipe, steamed broccoli will be perfect so that it still has a bit of a crunch to it. Alternatively, feel free to fry the broccoli in butter. Cut the broccoli into smaller pieces and pop it in a pan with a generous amount of butter. Add plenty of pepper and salt to taste and you’re left with a scrumptious side snack.
