1 tsp cumin seeds
150g Kri Kri My Authentic Greek Yogurt 0% Fat
1 preserved lemon, seeds removed, finely chopped, plus 2 tsp brine
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
½ x 20g pack dill (or ½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley), leaves chopped
380g pack 2 slower reared chicken breast fillets, cut into 1cm strips
1 courgette, cut into 1cm slices
250g pouch mixed grains (such as Merchant Gourmet)
Slaw or sauerkraut, (optional)

Heat a small frying pan, then toast the cumin for 1 minute until fragrant. Crush lightly using a pestle and mortar, then tip into a large bowl. Add the yogurt, the lemon and brine, oil and half the herbs. Season. Stir, then add the chicken and courgettes and mix to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
Heat the grill to high. Thread the chicken onto 4 metal skewers, fold over like ribbons and alternate with courgette slices. Cook on a grill tray rack for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway, until charred in places and cooked through with no pink meat and juices that run clear.
Warm the grains according to pack instructions, then toss through most of the remaining herbs, a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Serve the skewers on the grains, with the remaining herbs scattered over and slaw or sauerkraut, if using.
