Ingredients
- 300g Chicken, Breast, Fillets, Skinless & Boneless, Raw, Average
- 100g Yoghurt, Plain, Whole Milk, Average
- 14g Almonds, Flaked, Tesco
- 7.5ml Juice, Lemon, Fresh, Average
- 6g Garlic, Raw, Average
- 1g Ginger, Ground, Average

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C / Gas Mark 6 / 400°F
Crush the garlic & cut the chicken into bite size pieces (or the tofu into cubes)
Put the chicken or tofu in a shallow oven-proof dish. Combine the rest of the ingredients and spread over the chicken (tofu). Cover and leave in the fridge to marinate for at least an hour – longer, or overnight, if you can.
When ready to cook pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
Then put the dish in the oven for about 35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Tofu will need much less time – about 20 minutes max.
Serve with salad, and brown basmati rice or lentil dahl.
