20 mins on 200 degrees.
For the potato salad heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the bacon, onion, and

Lebanese Style Chicken Skewers


Makes 7 Large Skewers (roughly 120g each)

Ingredients
900g Chicken Breast Cut into 1-inch Cubes
Marinade
60g Fat Free Greek Yogurt
1 Tbsp Oil
30 ml Lemon Juice
30g Tomato Puree
3 Crushed Garlic Cloves
1 Tsp Paprika
1 Tsp Oregano
1 Tsp Salt

Whisk all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the cubed chicken and
mix well, ensuring
all the chicken is coated with the marinade. Transfer the chicken into a Ziplock
bag and let marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours up to overnight. Letting
the chicken marinate overnight will tenderise the chicken more and let the
flavours really develop.

Preheat your BBQ to a medium heat, thread the chicken onto metal skewers or
wooden (if using wooden, makes sure you soak the skewers in water to prevent
burning)

Grill the chicken skewers until the chicken is cooked through, about 8-10
minutes.
