Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine chicken strips with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Marinating longer enhances the flavour.

Roast the Potatoes

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss potatoes with olive oil and rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Pro tip: Flip halfway through for even roasting.

Cook the Chicken

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly golden. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Pro tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan for better searing.

Prepare the Garlic Sauce

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Pro tip: Adjust garlic and lemon to taste.

Warm the Naan Bread

Warm naan bread in the oven for 5 minutes or until slightly crispy.

Pro tip: Brush with a little olive oil for extra flavour.

Assemble and Serve

Top each piece of naan with cooked chicken, roasted potatoes, and a generous drizzle of garlic sauce. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for colour.
