Latest revision as of 08:39, 14 April 2024

Following the recent scare over processed meat, I felt less inclined to use chorizo sausages for our regular homemade pizza so I thought I would use fresh chicken breasts and flavour them with a pseudo-tandoori flavouring instead. This does take quite a while to prepare, but only takes a few minutes of your time over a long period. If you want to cheat even more, then use a packet of pre cooked tandoori chicken that most supermarkets sell. Of course if you want to go the whole-hog, you can make everything from scratch with this chicken tikka recipe.

I would normally skewer and grill the chicken as the pieces are too small to sit over the grid on a grill pan but as the skewers could not be found at the last minute I pan fried the chicken instead. Just cook on a high heat until most of the liquid cooks off.
