Greek chicken doner recipe!

Hello friends,

One of my hobbies is cooking I just love creating new flavors or recreate old one with my own personal touch! In case you have read my previous blog you will already figure it out that I come from a small island named Cyprus. The island is well known for its beauty, sun, beaches and food. One of the Cypriot nationals favorite fast food is doner! Therefore I am sharing with you guys my own recipe of how to make a Greek chicken doner. 




Ingredients

4 large chicken breast
4 table spoon of low fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of paprika
0.5 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of garlic
salt

First it will require for you to marinate the chicken. The marinade will add flavor to the meat soft and keep it moist during cooking. For the marinade add the yogurt, paprika, cumin, garlic and salt into a bowl stir them until all the ingredients mix together. Then add the chicken. I would recommend to leave the chicken to marinate overnight and use it right the next day. However in case you are as forgetful as me 30 minutes will be fine. Then insert the chicken in an oven tray and let it cook for 30 minutes to 180c. As soon as the chicken is cooked cut it into small pieces can escort it with rice or baked potatoes or pitta bread and tzatziki sauce. 

Recommendation: Warm a plain nan bread add the chicken, tzatziki cause, onions, tomatoes and cabbage.

What is tzatziki? Is a Greek traditional dip that can be used with kebabs, donner or with a pitta bread by itself. 

Tzatziki recipe:

1 cucumber
3 tablespoons of low fat yogurt
1 spoon of garlic
1 spoon of mint
salt

First cut the cucumber into very small square pieces or grate the cucumber. In case you grate the cucumber you will need to remove all the excess liquid. Then add the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, salt and mint and stir them together! 

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

How I lost my job because of Corona virus/ Covid 19

I am writing this blog to express my frustration and disappointment with government, employee rights and life in general.  I started my new job right before Corona virus hit this hard and toilet paper disappear from every where.  I do live in the UK and got hired as a contracted worker through an agency.

An alternative healthier way to enjoy egg fried rice/ 207 calories for 1 cup of egg fried rice

Hello readers, Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not as easy as it sounds. It requires a lot of effort and most of the times planning ahead. However there are those times that the constant  lack of time and those non stop cravings  make it harder for you not to dial that fast food number. Most food experts say that food cravings last only for 30 seconds and if you occupied yourself enough eventually you will just forget it. I say no if you want to eat something that you crave really badly then go ahead and eat it but with a smart way. Not only there is an alternative healthier way to satisfy your craving but a more financial sustainable way as well and it doesn't take that much time. After all the most important asset you have is your health and that is your first priority to invest. If your time is limited I suggest you to invest in a rice cooker as it takes 15 minutes to 20 minutes maximum  perfect rice without you being stack in the kitchen. If you are a fan of the...
