Ingredients 
Tandoori Chicken:
• 2 small chicken breasts, skin off
• ½ cup Low fat natural Yoghurt
• 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1 teaspoon crushed ginger
• Squeeze Lime
For Salad:
• 50g Lettuce
• ¼ red onion finely sliced
• ½ punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
• ½ cucumber chopped
• 20g fetta diced
• ¼ cup capsicum strips, we used from jar or you can use fresh
For Dressing:
• 3 tablespoons Low fat natural Yoghurt
• 12-15 mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons grated cucumber
• Squeeze lime

  Preparation Method
1. In a bowl place the tandoori paste with yoghurt, garlic and ginger. 

2. If the chicken is very thick give it a belt between some cling film with a rolling pin or meat mullet so it is nearly even.  Cut into long lengths and marinate in the yoghurt mixture in the fridge.  Make sure all chicken is covered with mixture.  Marinate for at least ½ hour, more if time prevails….you can do this maybe in the morning ready for dinner.

3. Spray then heat griddle pan or BBQ on high heat, around 5-10 minutes. 
4. Turn heat to med-high then cook chicken for around 10 minutes.
5. Whilst chicken is cooking arrange salad on plates. 
6. Mix the dressing ingredients together.
7. Once chicken is cooked take off heat and sit on a board.  Squeeze ½ lime onto chicken.
8. You can either slice the chicken and arrange on to salad or place chicken directly on top of salad.
Drizzle yoghurt dressing all over the salad and chicken.
