The weather is picking up, which means BBQ's and just eating al fresco in general and the dish and recipe I'm going to share with you today is perfect for eating al fresco, or even when you fancy a takeaway, but don't have the funds or are on a diet.

This recipe comes from Kayla Itsines' The Bikini Body 28 Day Healthy Eating & Lifestyle Guide.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

300g chicken breast fillet, cut into 4cm cubes

3 large handful of lettuce leaves

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

1/2 small red onion, sliced

1 1/2 medium cucumber, halved lengthways & thinly sliced

200g tzatziki

Dressing:

juice of 1/2 a lemon

1 1/2 tsp olive oil

1/4 tsp chopped oregano

Marinade:

1/2 garlic clove, crushed

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp chopped rosemary

1/2 tsp chopped oregano

Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

To make the marinade, whisk the garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, oregano, salt & pepper together in a small bow.

Place the chicken in the dish and turn to coat. Ensure that all the chicken is coated, cover with cling film, and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.

Meanwhile, soak 4 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help stop the skewers from burning when cooking the kebabs.

Pre-heat a barbecue grill-plate or chargrill pan over a high heat.

Thread the chicken onto the skewers and grill for 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, turning frequently.

To make the dressing, whisk the lemon juice, oil and oregano together in a small bowl or jug.

Place the lettuce, tomato, onion and cucumber in a large bowl, and drizzle over the dressing and toss gently to combine.

To serve, simply place the kebabs and salad onto serving plates and serve with the tzatziki on the side,

This was really east to cook and full of flavour, the salad and tzatziki worked really well with the chicken.

This recipe serves 2 and it had the perfect amount, for both myself and Skye, I'd happily have this again.

If you're interested in purchasing Kayla's books, then you can buy them from both Amazon and Waterstones.

You can also find her on social media accounts on both Facebook and Instagram.

See you soon!

Cook restaurant quality meals!

Each box comes with 4 recipe kits and 4 step-by-step recipe cards.

Following the recipes, you combine the kits with 4-6 items from your fridge or cupboard.

Then in just 20 minutes  you'll be enjoying a delicious meal for 2-4 people.

First from this box I cooked the Mexican Pork One Pot. In this kit, you get Cumin & Coriander Blend, Smoky Chipotle Paste and Mexican Stock Pot.

Get the kettle on (300ml)

Fry the pork mince.

Add the rice and beans.

Meanwhile, prep the garnishes.

Serve!

I feel that I need to give this dish another try, as I'm unsure on if I liked it or not, for me the flavours were a little hit and miss, but the apple was really refreshing and added to the flavour and dish.

Skye on the other hand was not a fan.

Next from this box I cooked the Italian Beef Ragu. In this kit, you get Ragu Herb Mix, Red Wine Reduction and Ragu Stock.

Brown the meat.

Start the base.

Mix it up.

Serve!

This has become a family favourite, when I ask what dishes to add to our Simply Cook box, this dish is often requested. Skye is a big fan and it's pretty obvious to see why, it's so delicious and full of flavour. This never lasts long on my plate as I practically wolf it down when we have it.

Next from this box I cooked the Burrito Bowl. In this kit, you get Burrito Spice Blend, Frijoles Paste and Mexican Rice Sauce.

Heat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/Gas Mark 6.

Marinate the chicken.

Cook the beans.

Prep the rice and Avocado.

Serve!

While this is such a colourful plate of food, the flavours weren't really for me, and I don't think Skye was a fan either .

Lastly from this box I cooked the Louisiana Linguine. In this kit, you get Southern Spice Mix, White Wine Reduction and Garlic Chicken Stock.

Marinate the chicken.

Cook the chicken & veg.

Create the sauce.

Mix in the pasta.

Serve!

I loved this dish, it was really rich, creamy and tasty. I'd happily cook this one for us again.
