Method
- Step 1: Marinate the chicken. Combine the oregano, mint, paprika, cinnamon, yoghurt, olive oil, and salt in a bowl, then add the sliced chicken and mix well. Set aside to marinate for 30 mins.
- Step 2: Tip the grated cucumber into a sieve then sprinkle over the salt and mix together well. Leave in the sink for 10 minutes as the salt pulls water from the cucumber. Give the cucumber a good squeeze then tip into a small bowl along with the Greek yoghurt, Flavour Hacks Roasted Garlic , sliced mint and lemon juice. Mix together well then set aside.
- Step 3: Cook the frozen fries according to packet instructions.
- Step 4: Set a frying pan over high heat (or you can do this in a tray under the grill) and tip in the marinated chicken. Stir fry for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked and beginning to char.
- Step 5: As the chicken cooks, gently warm the pita through.
- Step 6: To assemble, open the pita into a pocket and spread in some tzatziki. Lay in the gem lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and onion, and then the chicken and fries. Stuff in the parsley leaves over the top and spoon over a little more tzatziki. To finish, sprinkle over the smoked paprika and oregano.
