- Quarter tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp tomato puree

- Slice chicken into strips across the width of the breast. They should be no thicker than 1 cm.
- Carefully mix the chicken strips into the yogurt mixture, cover and leave in the fridge overnight or for at least two hours to marinate.
- When ready to cook, thread two or three strips of chicken onto a skewer, folding it back onto itself twice.
- Intersperse the chicken with pieces of pepper and onion.

- Once cooked and less drippy, cook them briefly on the bars of the grill to brown the edges slightly.
