Ingredients:
- 200 g chicken fillet , diced
- 2 tablespoons tikka paste (preferably from Patak's)
- 200 g frozen fries
- 2-3 flatbreads (preferably whole wheat)
- Handful of iceberg lettuce , finely chopped
- ½ red onion , thinly sliced
For the yoghurt sauce:
- 3-4 tablespoons Greek yogurt (full fat for extra creaminess)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Handful of fresh coriander , finely chopped
- Pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation method:
-
Marinate the chicken : Mix the chicken fillet cubes with the tikka paste so that each piece is well coated with the rich flavours. Then thread the marinated chicken onto metal skewers.
-
Airfryer action : Place the chicken skewers and frozen fries in the airfryer basket in a single layer. Set the airfryer to 200°C and bake for 14 minutes. Shake halfway through to ensure even cooking and crisping.
-
Make the Yogurt Sauce : While the chicken and fries are cooking, stir together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste and set the sauce aside.
-
Heat the flatbreads : While the airfryer is doing its thing, briefly heat the flatbreads in a dry frying pan or microwave until they are nice and warm and soft. Spread a layer of the yoghurt sauce on each flatbread and top with the crispy iceberg lettuce and red onion.
-
Serve : Remove the chicken skewers and fries from the airfryer once they are golden brown and crispy. Place the chicken skewers on top of the flatbreads, together with the fries. Drizzle with some extra yoghurt sauce for an extra fresh kick.
