   While the chicken marinates, stir 240g of greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and a little lemon juice from the listed lemon until smooth. Dice 2 tomatoes and finely slice 1 red onion. Keep the salad vegetables separate from the raw chicken and its marinade.

3. 3

   Heat a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, leaving space between pieces. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, the juices run clear, and the thickest pieces reach 75°C for 30 seconds. Wash the raw-chicken bowl and utensils with hot soapy water before reuse.
