  • 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Tomato Paste
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 6 tablespoons plain yoghurt Greek yoghurt
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme powder
  • Dash of Paprika
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients (except chicken) together in a mixing bowl.
  • Mix well.
  • Add in Chicken.
  • Leave to marinade for at least an hour.
  • Put Chicken onto skewers just before grilling.
  • Grill on a hot plate over a BBQ or in an oven at 210 degrees celsius for 18- 20 minutes, checking at 10minutes and again at 15 minutes.

Notes

Ensure that chicken is being checked at 10 minutes and then again, a few minutes after, to avoid tough, overcooked chicken breast.
For a thoroughly flavourful chicken, leave to marinade overnight.
