This is the kind of meal that hits all the right notes – spicy, crispy, buttery and bold. Chicken breasts are butterflied and pan-fried in ghee and Woolworths tikka paste, served with crispy steakhouse-cut chips and finished with a punchy Kashmiri chilli oil made with lemon and ghee. Add Woolworths garlic naan, creamy yoghurt, sharp pickled onions and a generous spoon of Woolies’ Bombay ketchup to round it off. It’s a weeknight winner or Friday-night feast.
Ingredients
Method
- 4 Woolworths free-range chicken breasts, butterflied
- 2–3 T Woolworths tikka paste
- sea salt, to taste

- 1½ T Woolworths Kashmiri chilli paste
- 2 T fresh lemon juice
- 2 T olive oil
Method
Ingredients
1. Season the chicken with the tikka paste and a pinch of salt.
2. Heat 1 T ghee in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Set aside to rest.
3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the chips according to package instructions and season with salt.
4. To make the chilli oil, whisk the chilli paste with the lemon juice and olive oil.
5. Heat the naan according to package instructions. Serve the chicken with the chips and naan, drizzled with the chilli oil. Serve the yoghurt, pickled red onions, and Bombay ketchup on the side.
Cook’s note: The Kashmiri chilli oil also works beautifully with roast veg or spooned over rice bowls.
