Tandoori Chicken With Curry Flatbread And Raita



OMG. Where to start with this. It's a bit of an extension of my Greek Gyros recipe and boy is it good!
It's packed with flavour and so yummy you'll be wondering how on earth something so good can be so healthy.
If you're following slimming world, this is another syn FREE recipe. YIPPEE!

Ingredients

Flatbread

1/2 Cauliflower
1tsp Curry Powder
Chopped Coriander or Ground Coriander
2 eggs

Raita

1/2 large tub of fat free greek yoghurt
1/2 a cucumber
Chopped Coriander
1/2tsp Salt

Tandoori Chicken

2 Chicken Breasts
4 tbsp fat free plain yoghurt
1/2 lemon
Chopped Coriander
3tbsp Tandoori Powder

How It's Done



Preheat your oven to a Medium to high heat.
Grate or blend 1/2 a cauliflower and boil for 5  minutes to cook.
Add your eggs, curry powder and coriander into a bowl and mix.
Drain your cauliflower in a sieve, then pop the cauliflower into the middle of a tea towel and use this to wring out all the excess water. Trust me, there's quite a bit.
Mix your cauliflower with the egg mixture and spread it out in two circles of rectangles on a sheet of baking paper. Pop in the oven for approximately 17 minutes.



While they're cooking start your tandoori chicken. Add your tandoori powder, eggs, the juice of half a lemon and your coriander into a bowl and mix it all up. Dice your chicken breasts and add to the mix, coating thoroughly. Leave this for 20 minutes or longer if you can to marinate.



The raita is just so quick and easy to make, it makes more than enough so you can freeze your extra for next time.
Simply deseed your cucumber, chop it up and bash all your ingredients into a jug and blend. How simple is that?

Pop your tandoori chicken on a sheet of baking paper on a tray and put it in the oven on a high heat for 25 minutes. I love my tandoori chicken slightly charred, I think it adds flavour and tastes more like the tandoori chicken you'd get from your takeaway. Mmmmm.


While you're waiting for that to cook, chop up all your lovely salad to pile your flatbread high! I used red onion, sweet pointed peppers, shredded lettuce and cucumber. These worked really well and the flavours were spot on.


 

When your chicken is done, all that's left is to pile your flatbread sky high with all that yummy, healthy food and enjoy!
