1. In a large bowl, mix together the first 6 ingredients and season to taste. Slash the chicken breasts 5-6 times, without cutting all the way through. Add the chicken breasts and vegetables to the yogurt mix and stir to coat everything completely. Cover and leave the flavours to mingle for 10 mins.
2. Place a griddle over a high heat and cook the chicken and vegetables for 4 mins each side until the chicken is cooked through and the grill lines are golden. Leave to rest for 2 mins before serving with steamed rice and raita.

Making it with red meat, or Mediterranean flavours

Replace the chicken breasts with 4 lamb leg steaks. Or replace the curry powder with zest of a lemon and 1 tsp dried oregano.

'This appealed because not only was it low fat, it was spicy, too. We loved the taste and we served ours with wild rice, but thought that naan breads would also be good.'

  I let this marinade for a couple of hours instead of the suggested 10 minutes. It's a great tasty meal, and you'd never guess it was lower fat.

  Excellent. This was thoroughly enjoyable and I'll certainly be making it again. I agree wholeheartedly with Moosepup, above, in that it works beautifully if marinated for an hour or two. This recipe appears in the September 2008 GFM supplement (40 Best Chicken Recipes) but isn't credited to Jo Pratt. I'd complain...

  All credit to Jo Pratt for a fabulous, easy to do and quick meal that tastes as good as it sounds. I didn't have a griddle pan, so baked the chicken on a rack above a roasting tin containing the vegetables. Delicious!! Definitely a do-again. :-)
