Ingredients

Chicken

• 4 chicken breasts cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove crushed
• 1 tablespoons dried oregano

Yoghurt drizzle

• 1 cup double thick plain yoghurt
• Handful of mint leaves chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• Pepper

Tabbouleh

• 4 tomatoes chopped
• ½ cucumber chopped
• 2 bunches flat leaf parsley chopped finely
• 1 bunch mint leaves finely chopped
• 1 large onion finely chopped
• 1 cup cooked bulgur wheat
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• Pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Flatbread

• 2 cups of self-rising flour
• ¾ cup of double thick yoghurt
• 2 teaspoons Cumin seeds

Instructions

Toss the chicken breasts in the oil, lemon juice and spices and fry in a pan until browned. Alternatively chicken can be placed on skewers and braaied.

For the yoghurt drizzle mix all the ingredients together until combined.

The Tabbouleh can be made in a food processor or sliced by hand. Try to chop the ingredient up as finely as possible. Toss together.

Lastly, for the flatbread combine all the ingredients until a firm dough is formed. The dough should be moist but you should be able to roll it out. Add more yoghurt or a bit of warm water if it’s too dry. Divide the dough into small balls. On a floured surface roll your ball out until as thin as possible. Heat up a pan and add a tiny bit of oil. Once the pan is really hot place your flatbread on the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side.

Nutritiously delicious!
