Ingredients

300g skinless and boneless chicken thighs, visible fat removed
2 tsp peri-peri seasoning
Juice of 1 lime
1 cal cooking spray
2 x 65g wholemeal rolls
1 medium tomato, sliced
Mixed salad, to serve
For the slaw:
¼ small red cabbage, cored and shredded
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, grated
4 tbsp fat-free unsweetened natural Greek yogurt

Method

Step 1

Put the chicken in a small bowl with the peri-peri seasoning and half the lime juice and stir to coat well.

Step 2

Spritz a non-stick griddle pan or frying pan with a few sprays of 1 cal cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Open out the chicken thighs so that they’re as flat as possible and cook for 6-7 minutes, then turn and fry on the other side for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through and no pink flesh is visible.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, make the slaw. Put the cabbage, onion, carrot and yoghurt in a bowl, mix well and season to taste with pepper.

Step 4

Cut each chicken thigh in half (or shred them) and sprinkle over the rest of the lime juice. Split the rolls and fill with the tomato, chicken and slaw. Serve with the mixed salad.

Recipe tips

Check spice/seasoning blends for added ingredients such as sugar, salt, flour or oil. Choose blends made from herbs and spices only if possible.
Cook's tip: You can use a plain yoghurt of your choice. However, this will change the nutritional information and texture of the dish.
