Chicken Kebabs with Crunchy Salad

Chicken Kebabs with Crunchy Salad, Greek Yoghurt and Toasted Pitta Bread

Another low carb, quick and easy meal, where you can prepare most of the ingredients a day in advance. If I'm entirely honest, a greasy kebab is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine as a student after a night out. So this is a bit like satisfying those cravings but in a productive, healthy way!
WARNING: this recipe comes with a health hazard - take it easy on the garlic, especially if it's a pre-night out meal!!

Recipe has been taken from 'Cook Yourself Thin' here. But I've cut out some of the ingredients to make it cheaper, without losing the flavour.

Things you'll need:
Serves 2
  • 2 x Chicken Breast
  • 1 x Bag of Ready made crunchy salad (I bought this one from Tesco)
  • 2 x Wholemeal Pitta Bread
  • 1 Small Pot of Fat Free Greek Yoghurt (150g)
  • 1 x Lemon
  • 1 x Garlic Clove
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Sprinkle Paprika
  • Sprinkle Oregano
Price overall: £2.80 (Approx)
Per Serving: £1.40

Cooking Instructions:

  1. For the Chicken Marinade, mix the Olive Oil, juice of one Lemon, Half Garlic Clove, Paprika and Oregano together. Slice the Chicken into chunks and slide onto your Kebab sticks. Place in a bowl and pour over the marinade for any time between 1-12 hours.
  2. Separately, mix the Yoghurt, some Lemon Zest and other half of Garlic (add Black pepper to season if you want).
  3. Toast the wholemeal pitta bread and then add your Crunchy Salad on top. Then pour the Yoghurt mixture on top.
  4. Grill the Chicken Kebabs until golden in colour and cooked all the way through (about 12 minutes - keep your eye on them) Then place on top of your Yoghurt Mixture and Serve.
If you are on a really tight budget, skip the marinade for the chicken. It adds flavour and is delicious but not essential. If you're a kebab loving student - this is for you!
