Method:
- Start with the chicken skewers: mix together the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the chicken chunks, making sure they’re completely covered.
- Cover with cling film and put in the fridge to chill for one hour, or overnight so the flavours can develop!
- When you’re ready to start cooking, soak the wooden skewers for 30 minutes.
- Coat the courgette chunks and pepper in the rapeseed oil and place alternately with the chicken pieces on the skewers.
- Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
- Next, cook the rice: place the basmati rice in a sieve and wash with water, until the water runs clear. Add to a saucepan, with cold water 1cm above the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until cooked.
- Fluff the rice up with a fork and stir through with the chopped coriander and parsley.
- Serve the chicken skewers with the rice and a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
Suggestions: Our tip, try to keep the size of the chicken and veggie pieces the same, so they all cook in the same time. |
