Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons low-fat natural yoghurt
- 2g tomato puree
- 2 teaspoons tikka masala curry paste

- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 wholemeal pitta breads

- 2 handfuls cherry tomatoes, halved
Our top tips
- You can use any chicken pieces you like. It doesn't need to be chicken breast, just make sure the skin and bones have been removed.
- This recipe uses ready-made tikka masala paste. You only need a little and you can store the jar in the fridge for other recipes.
Method
-
Mix together the yoghurt, tomato puree and curry paste. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to marinate.
Information:You can also use turkey breast instead of chicken, if you prefer.
-
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the teaspoon of vegetable oil.
-
Put the marinated chicken pieces into the heated pan and stir-fry over a medium heat until cooked but still juicy (about 5 to 8 minutes).
-
Warm and split open the pitta breads and fill them with shredded lettuce. Add the cooked chicken, then serve with cherry tomatoes.
Information:You can also serve with raw vegetable sticks and follow with an apple, orange or satsuma. This will add 2 extra portions of fruit and vegetables towards your 5 A Day!
