Method

Soak 20-24 mini kebab skewers or cocktail sticks in boiling water for at least 15 minutes.

1 Kebabs Slice the chicken breast fillets lengthways into very thin strips (you should get more than 20 strips from a large fillet). Transfer the strips to a non-metal dish for marinating.

2 Marinade Whisk all the ingredients together and pour over the chicken strips. Mix to coat, cover the dish and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

3 Herb sauce Put the yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic, spring onion and coriander in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until smooth. Season with salt.

4 To finish Remove the kebab skewers or cocktail sticks from the water. Thread each chicken strip concertina-wise onto a skewer or stick.

5 Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan and fry the chicken kebabs in batches until lightly charred on both sides and done – this should take just 2-3 minutes.

6 Sprinkle the sesame seeds over (if using). Serve the kebabs with the herb sauce for dipping.
