Chicken Souvlaki With Tzatziki And Fries
If souvlaki doesn't top your dinner list yet, it will now. You'll skewer smoky marinated chicken breast and serve it with tzatziki and oregano chips for a herby, crunchy hit. All Health Hub recipes meet one of these criteria: <600 calories, 3 of your 5/day, or a source of protein.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, and take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Soak your skewers in cold water (this stops them from burning whilst cooking!)
Cut the potatoes (skins on) into fries, then add them to a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil, dried oregano and a pinch of salt – these are your herby fries
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, chop your chicken breast portion[s] into bite sized pieces
Peel and grate (don't chop!) your garlic
Add the chopped chicken and half the grated garlic to a large bowl with your cumin seeds, ground smoked paprika, half your red wine vinegar (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 onto the soaked skewers – these are your marinated chicken skewers
Transfer the marinated chicken skewers to a tin foil-lined baking tray (or two!)
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 22-25 min or until the chicken is slightly charred and cooked through (no pink meat!) – these are your chicken souvlaki skewers
Meanwhile, slice half your cucumber[s] into discs
Cut the remaining cucumber in half lengthways, scrape out the inner seeds with a teaspoon, throw the watery seeds away
Grate the deseeded cucumber and squeeze out any excess water
Chop your tomato[es] into slices
Strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop them roughly, discard the stems
Add the sliced tomatoes and sliced cucumber to a bowl with the remaining red wine vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your cucumber & tomato salad
Add the grated cucumber to a small bowl with the remaining grated garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), most of the chopped mint (save the rest for garnish!), 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
Serve the chicken souvlaki skewers with the herby fries, cucumber & tomato salad and tzatziki to the side
Garnish with the remaining chopped mint
Enjoy!
