Chicken Breast Souvlaki Sandwich With Tzatziki

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air and soak your skewer[s] in cold water (this prevents them from burning whilst cooking)
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries, then add them to a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil, your dried oregano and a pinch of salt, then give everything a good mix up and put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until crisp – these are your herby fries
Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your shallot[s] and peel and grate (don't chop!) your garlic
Cut your chicken breast portion[s] in half, lengthways
Add the sliced shallot to a large bowl with the halved chicken, your cumin seeds, ground smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, half the grated garlic (save the rest for later!) and a drizzle of olive oil
Give everything a good mix up and season with a very generous pinch of salt and pepper – this is your marinated chicken
Thread the marinated chicken and sliced shallot onto the soaked skewer[s] in a snake-like fashion – this is your marinated chicken skewer[s]
Transfer the marinated chicken skewer[s] to a tin foil-lined baking tray (or two!)
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the chicken is slightly charred and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your chicken breast souvlaki skewer[s]
Once cooked through, slide and slice half of the chicken breast souvlaki off each skewer on a clean board
Meanwhile, slice half your cucumber into discs
Cut the remaining cucumber in half lengthways, scrape out the inner seeds with a teaspoon and discard
Grate the deseeded cucumber and squeeze out any excess water
Slice your tomato[es] into rounds
Strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop them roughly, discard the stems
Add the grated cucumber to a bowl with the remaining grated garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), most of the chopped mint (save the rest for later!), your natural yoghurt and a drizzle of olive oil
Give everything a good mix up and season with a pinch of salt – this is your tzatziki
Put your ciabatta[s] in the oven for 5 min or until hot and crusty, then carefully slice them in half before serving
To build your sandwich, fill the crusty ciabatta with the sliced chicken breast souvlaki, a dollop of tzatziki, a couple of herby fries and a tomato round – this is your chicken breast souvlaki sandwich
Serve the remaining herby fries to the side with the remaining chicken breast souvlaki skewer, remaining tomato rounds, sliced cucumber and reserved chopped mint
Enjoy!
