Tasty Chicken Kebabs with homemade Tzatziki

 

I have made this meal a couple of times now. One night when I really couldn't find the energy to cook I made this meal in about 15 minutes. I didn't marinade the chicken just fried and added some nice spices, paprika, peri peri salt and cayenne pepper. The other night I followed the recipe from an instagram account I follow by Chris Baber, a young Northern chef , who often has live instagram cooking sessions of easy recipes in his home kitchen, This was one of them.
