Serves: 2-3
INGREDIENTS
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt and ground pepper
4 skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
2 cups red grapes

METHOD
Combine the onion and vinegar in a large bowl and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large sauté pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken then cook until golden and fully cooked through. Take out and drain on kitchen towels.
Add the grapes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until just starting to get crinkly. Drain on kitchen towels.

Season generously then fold in the grapes.
To serve: Spread the yoghurt over a serving platter and layer up the chicken and salad.
