Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

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

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thick slices

Step 1
2

Combine your ground smoked paprika and curry powder with half your natural yoghurt (you'll use the rest for later!) in a medium bowl

Add the chicken and sliced pepper to the bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up

Step 2
3

Add the coated chicken and pepper to a baking paper-lined baking tray

Put the tray in the oven for 20-22 min or until the pepper is slightly charred and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) - this is your tandoori chicken

(Doubled your protein? Do this in batches!)

Step 3

While the chicken is in the oven, cut your green chilli[es] in quarters lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Step 4

Grate your cheddar cheese, using the fine side of the grater

Once the tandoori chicken is cooked, remove the baking tray from the oven

Transfer the tandoori chicken to a clean board, reserving the tray

Re-line the reserved baking tray with baking paper

Add your naan[s] to the baking tray and top with the grated cheddar, chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and charred pepper

Step 6
7

Put the tray in the oven for 4 min or until the bread is warmed through and the cheese has melted – this is your chilli-cheese naan

Meanwhile, on a clean board shred the tandoori chicken apart using two forks – this is your pulled tandoori chicken

Wash your spinach, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Serve the chilli-cheese naan with the spinach and pulled tandoori chicken layered on top – this is your chilli-cheese naan with tandoori chicken
