Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Combine chicken and tandoori paste in a large glass bowl. Heat a large non-stick ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven. Season with pepper. Stand for 5 minutes.
Step 2 of 4
Thinly slice onion. Place onion in a large bowl with coriander, half of the mint, cucumber and spinach. Toss to combine.
Step 3 of 4
Finely chop remaining mint. Place in a bowl with lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and yoghurt. Stir until well combined. Season with pepper.
Step 4 of 4
Spray pitas with oil. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook pitas, in batches, for 1 minute each side or until golden-brown. Cool slightly, then tear into large pieces. Spoon coriander salad and yoghurt mixture onto serving plates. Top with chicken, then drizzle with pan juices. Serve with pita.
