Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
8 Lilydale Free Range Chicken Bulk Thigh Fillets
375g butter chicken simmer sauce
2 Lebanese cucumbers, grated and water squeezed out
500g Greek yoghurt
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of salt

210g long-grain rice, cooked

Lemon or limes wedges, to serve
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until golden brown on the outside, then add the butter chicken simmer sauce and a splash of water. Leave to simmer for 8–10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yoghurt, one grated cucumber, garlic and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Grate the remaining cucumber and squeeze out the water, then set aside in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken has cooled slightly, remove from the sauce and use two forks to shred chicken thighs. Add back into sauce and stir to coat.
- Take half of a pita pocket and fill the opening with cooked rice, fresh coriander, grated cucumber, butter chicken mixture and garlic and cucumber yoghurt.
- Add an optional squeeze of lemon or lime and serve immediately.
