- Pour the marinade over the chicken and set aside for at least an hour (or a max of 24)
- To cook on the grill:
- Heat the grill (medium high) for 15 minutes before you cook the chicken. Place the marinated chicken directly onto the bars and grill for 8 mins without moving and then flip the chicken and cook for a further 8 minutes.
- To cook on the hob:
- Place the grill pan over a high heat and let it get hot for 5 minutes. Then add the chicken and turn the heat down to medium, cook the chicken for 8 mins without moving and then flip the chicken and cook for a further 8 minutes.
- Set the chicken aside to cool. Then cut into small cubes.
To make the Mint Yogurt Sauce
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and add more salt if needed.
To assemble
- Cut the cucumber into thin disks and set them on a serving platter.
- Add a cube of chicken to each dish and drizzle over a small amount of yogurt sauce.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed.
