Raita
1 garlic clove

12 hearts of romaine lettuce


1. To make the Raita, chop the garlic and salt until a paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the yogurt, cucumber, mint, vinegar and pepper.

2. To make the chicken, heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the chicken, garam masala and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, about five minutes.

3. Divide the lettuce evenly among four plates. Top evenly with the chicken and serve with a small side of Raita.

-The chicken can also be grilled on the bbq when the weather gets warmer. Marinate the chicken in the oil, salt, garam masala and a small amount of yogurt for 1 hour prior to grilling.
