This will make your barbeque one to remember. The herbs add a great coating to the chicken and the tasty dip actually contains a cool vegetable: can you tell what it is yet?

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon of plain flour
1 medium egg, beaten
170g / 6 oz. of stuffing with herbs
75g / 2½ oz. piece of cucumber, peeled and grated
150ml / 5 fl oz. of low-fat, natural yoghurt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Slice each chicken piece into long strips
Coat each strip evenly, first in flour, then egg, then the stuffing
Place on a wire rack and grill until there is no pink meat left and the strips are piping hot the whole way through - check this by placing the strips on a clean plate and cutting into the centre with a clean knife. If you have a meat thermometer, check they have reached 75 degrees celsius.
Remove from the grill and leave to the side while you make the dip
To make the dip, simply mix the cucumber with the yogurt
Add some pepper to taste and serve in a bowl with the strips
