Serves 4, Total cooking time 20 minutes

Ingredients:
150 g (5 oz) Greek yogurt
finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped mint

Soak 8 small wooden skewers in water. Mix together the yogurt, lemon rind and juice, mint and olive oil. Add the chicken pieces and stir well to coat.

Thread the chicken on to the skewers and place on a foil-lined grill pan.

Cook under a preheated hot grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked and slightly charred at the edges. Slide the chicken off the skewers and serve in warm pitta breads with slices of cucumber and radish.

Warm 4 pitta breads and fill with sliced ready-cooked chicken, sliced cucumber and sliced radish. Top with the lemon mint dressing. Total cooking time 10 minutes.
