These spiced chicken bites are crisp on the outside and tender inside, making them perfect for snacking. They cook easily in a non stick pan with a little oil and come together with simple, familiar ingredients.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast or thigh – 450 g (cut into bite size pieces)

• Yogurt – 120 ml

• Garlic – 2 cloves (finely chopped)

• Ginger – 1 tsp (grated)

• Paprika – 1 tsp

• Chilli powder or chilli flakes – 1/2 tsp (adjust to taste)

• Salt – 1 tsp (adjust to taste)

• Black pepper – 1/2 tsp

• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp

• Oil – 1 tbsp

• Fresh parsley – 1 tbsp chopped (optional)

Method

1. In a bowl, mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, paprika, chilli, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

2. Add chicken pieces and mix well to coat.

3. Leave for a short while so the flavours soak in.

4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add oil.

5. Add the chicken in a single layer.

6. Cook, turning gently, until lightly browned on the outside and fully cooked inside.

7. Leave it for a minute, then serve warm.

Tips & Serving Ideas

• Cut the chicken into similar sized pieces for even cooking.

• Keep the heat medium so the outside browns without drying the inside.

• Serve with ranch, garlic mayo, or a simple yogurt dip.

• Add a squeeze of lemon before serving for a fresh finish.
