Ingredients

  • 500g skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

  1. Toss the chicken with the paprika, cumin, garlic granules, oregano, 1 tbsp of the oil and a good pinch of salt.
