Author Notes
Chicken breast is a staple for most healthy eaters, it’s quick, simple and tasty. However, it can sometimes be dry. Now this is down to a lack of moisture, oil and spices in the meat. This recipe packs in tonnes of flavor with fresh herb yogurt and a warm crunchy salad to go with it! —Madeleine Shaw
