Why I Like this Recipe

I keep coming back to this one because it is simple, fresh and really satisfying. The warm, seasoned chicken works so well with the cool cucumber garlic yoghurt dressing, and the salad adds a nice bit of crunch. It is the kind of meal that feels generous and full of flavour, while still being light enough for everyday eating.

Tips and Variations

  • If you want a lighter dressing, try using low-fat Greek yoghurt.
  • Fresh dill tastes great in this recipe, but parsley is a good substitute if that’s what you have on hand.
  • You can easily swap in turkey breast for chicken to keep it just as lean.
  • Wholemeal pittas make the meal more filling and add extra fibre.
  • If you’re not in the mood for bread, serve everything over a bowl of salad instead.
  • I like to add a few slices of tomato or red onion for extra crunch and colour.
  • A quick squeeze of lemon at the end really brightens up the flavours.
  • You can cook the chicken ahead of time, and the dressing tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge.

Meal Storage

Store the chicken and dressing in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer tips

You can freeze cooked chicken for up to 2 months, but the cucumber yoghurt dressing and fresh salad don’t freeze well.

Defrost the chicken in the fridge overnight, then reheat gently in a pan or microwave until it’s hot all the way through.
