A croissant, but definitely not as you know it.
Buttery, flaky croissant stuffed with melted cheddar and juicy Zulekha Chicken Tikka Skewers, with a creamy sauce to finish it all off. It’s cheesy, crispy, a little messy and exactly the kind of quick lunch that feels way more exciting than the effort it takes.
What You’ll Need
- 1 large croissant
- 2 Zulekha Chicken Tikka Skewers
- 30–40g cheddar cheese
- 1–2 tbsp creamy or mayo-style sauce
How to Make It
Step 1: Make some room
Cut a small opening at the end of your croissant and gently hollow out a little of the centre. Don’t go too far, you still want all those buttery layers!
Step 2: Get the cheese in
Slice your cheddar into strips and tuck them right inside the croissant.
Step 3: Cook the star of the show
Air fry your Zulekha Chicken Tikka Skewers until piping hot and nicely charred around the edges.
Step 4: Stuff it
Slide the chicken straight off the skewers and into the cheese-filled croissant. Yes, it really is that easy.
Step 6: Sauce it up
Slice it open, drizzle over your favourite creamy sauce and you’re done. Grab a napkin, this one might get messy.
Quick Tips
- Don’t over-hollow the croissant. Leave enough inside to keep it soft and buttery.
- Want extra cheese? Add a little on top before the final warm-up and let it melt over the croissant.
- Get a little char on the chicken. Those crispy edges make such a difference.
- Eat it straight away. This is at its best while the croissant is crisp and the cheese is still gooey.
Why It Works
It’s all about the contrast. You’ve got the crispy, buttery croissant, the juicy, spiced chicken tikka, gooey melted cheddar and that creamy sauce bringing everything together. Basically, all the good stuff in one bite.
And because the Zulekha Chicken Tikka Skewers are already packed with flavour, you don’t need a long list of ingredients to make this taste seriously good.
