This way, you'll get tasty morsels, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for a family dinner: they'll delight both adults and children. For a flawless result, we suggest opting for chicken breast: lean and light, with a regular shape, it's easy to shred and cooks quickly; alternatively, for a juicier result, choose boneless chicken thigh.
If desired, you can add curry or finely chopped herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or marjoram, to the marinade. For a lactose-free option, replace the plain yogurt with sugar-free soy yogurt.
