Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, honey, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken breast pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are all well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C / 165°F).

  3. 5

    Rest and Cut

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into tender strips.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the chicken strips garnished with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
