Serves: | 4 |
Preparation Time: | 5 minutes plus marinading. |

| 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil | |
| 3 tbsp Natural Yoghurt | |

1. Prick the chicken breasts (both sides) in several places with the tines of a fork and make 3 diagonal slashes on one side of each breast.
2. Put the chicken in a bowl.
3. Add the required amount of Mr Huda's Tikka Paste, oil, yoghurt and some coriander.

5. Leave to marinate for at least 6 - 8 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Stage 2
1. When cooking under grill, place on a grill pan (to allow the moisture from the chicken to be kept separate).
2. Baste the chicken with any excess marinade (reserve a little for basting throughout the cooking time).
3. Preheat the grill to high heat, then grill for 15 minutes or until cooked, turning and basting once (try not to over-cook the chicken breasts).
