Hot and spicy quark chicken recipe
This succulent and healthy dish will add a little spice to your family meals. Using quark instead of Greek yoghurt means that there is 74% less saturated fat per serving, meaning that it's far healthier - but you can use yoghurt if you can't get hold of quark.
Note that this recipe also requires at least an hour's marinating time.

Step-by-step
- To make the marinade, mix the quark, spices, seasoning and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Add the chunks of chicken and stir well until coated all over, leave to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight if time allows.
- Preheat a heavy griddle pan for 5 mins. Toss the vegetables in the oil, then griddle cook them fr 4 mins, turning until they are charred on all sides. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
- Add the chunks of chicken to the griddle and cook for 8-10 mins, turning the chunks occasionally until they are nicely charred on the outside and cooked through. Add the vegetables and keep warm.
- Warm the tortillas on the griddle pan. Make the sauce by mixing the Tabasco sauce with the quark in a bowl. Serve the chicken and vegetable with the tortillas and sauce.
