Upute

Make Sauce

Sauce: prepare the sauce first so it can chill before serving. Grate a cucumber with the large holes of a grater. Line a small bowl with a few paper towels (or clean kitchen towel) and place the grated cucumber on top. Squeeze out as much extra moisture as you can from the cucumber (to keep the sauce from being watery). Once drained, add to a medium bowl. Zest and juice lemon to get 1/2 tsp zest and 1 tbsp juice. Stir in the rest of the sauce ingredients (yogurt, olive oil, vinegar) as well as salt and pepper to taste (I add 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper). Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Combine Seasonings

Place all the chicken seasonings (including chicken bouillon powder) in a small bowl and stir together.

Cook Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Add all the chicken seasonings and stir for 1 minute. Reduce heat as needed to avoid burning as the spices get fragrant. Mix in tomato paste and 1 cup hot water. Stir until combined and smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a rapid simmer, and cook for 2–4 minutes or until slightly thickened/reduced. Add shredded chicken and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings to preference, adding additional salt if needed. Season with lemon juice (I add 2 tbsp). Remove from heat.

Prepare Veggies

In a large bowl, toss the diced or thinly sliced red onion, sliced cucumber, and diced tomatoes. Add fresh parsley if desired. Season with salt and pepper (just a pinch) and toss to combine.

Prepare Naan

Lightly spray both sides of the naan with cooking spray. “Grill” naan on the stovetop over the open flame until slightly charred, about 10–20 seconds per side (see note 1). Set aside.

Assemble

Add charred naan bread to plates. Top with seasoned chicken, veggies, then lots of sauce. Enjoy immediately.
