Marinate the chicken

Mix the marinade ingredient­s in a large bowl, add the slices of chicken and leave in the fridge for about 2 hours. If you’re going to use wooden skewers, leave them to soak in water.

Serve

Toast the flatbreads and spread with houmous. Serve with the kebabs, some cucumber, slices of onion, if using, tomato and as much chilli sauce as you can handle!
