Ingredients
GARLIC ROASTIES AND SALAD
- 600g potatoes, scrubbed and diced 2cm
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 telegraph cucumber
- ½ iceberg lettuce
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped mint leaves
LEMON MAYO
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- Juice of ½ lemon (zest reserved)
TANDOORI CHICKEN
- 550g chicken breasts
- 40g GF tandoori paste
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon oil
TO SERVE
- ½ a lemon, cut into wedges
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat BBQ grill or hot plate to low-medium (if using).
-
Toss potatoes with garlic and olive oil on prepared tray and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 25 minutes, until golden and tender. Turn once during cooking.
-
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and lemon juice together and set aside.
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and cut into steaks. To do this, place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and use a knife to slice through horizontally to make 2 thin steaks. Rub chicken steaks with tandoori paste and lemon zest to coat evenly.
-
Heat oil in a large fry-pan on low-medium heat. Cook chicken steaks, in batches, for 2–3 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Set aside to rest, covered with foil, for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
-
While chicken cooks, dice tomatoes and cucumber 1–2cm and thinly shred lettuce. Toss all on a large platter (or bowl) with a drizzle of olive oil and mint leaves just before serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Divide garlic roasties and salad between plates and top with slices of tandoori chicken. Dollop over lemon mayo and serve with a lemon wedge to squeeze over chicken.
