Ingredients

14 total
  • 4 baking potatoes, cut into 2cm-thick chips or wedges
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil, plus a drizzle
  • 4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 heaped tbsp of cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced, plus 1 cut into wedges, to serve
  • 1 cucumber, deseeded, cut into 2cm chunks
  • 1 red pepper, cut into 2cm chunks
  • 300 g of radishes, trimmed and quartered
  • 1 little gem lettuce, roughly shredded
  • 20 g of chives, finely chopped
  • 150 g of natural yoghurt
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed or grated
  • 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the chips on a large baking tray, add 1-2 tbsp olive oil and toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer, season and bake for 40-45 mins, turning once, until golden.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, put the chicken, cumin, paprika, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a bowl with a drizzle of oil; toss to coat. Cover and set aside. (You could prep this up to 24 hrs in advance; cover and chill.)

  3. Step 3

    Toss the cucumber, red pepper, radishes and lettuce together; in a separate bowl, make the dressing by mixing together the lemon juice, chives, yoghurt, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    When the chips have about 10 mins cooking time left, thread the chicken onto 4-8 skewers and heat a griddle or frying pan over a high heat. Once smoking, turn the heat down slightly. Cook the chicken for 5-6 mins, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred.

  5. Step 5

    Dress the salad, then serve with the kebabs, chips and lemon wedges.
