Chicken Skewers Recipe
Prepare time 10 min.
Cooking Time 15 min.
Marinating Time 1 hour
Special

Equipment

 12 skewers - charcoal grill or barbecue
Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 11⁄4 lb (500 g) skinless boneless chicken breast
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 fresh red Thai chile pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary, plus extra for garnish
  • 4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 4 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1⁄4 cup olive oil
  • 2 large firm ripe mangoes
  • juice of 1 lime
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Soak 12 wooden skewers in cold water for 1 hour.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-size chunks. Combine the chicken, garlic, ginger, chile, chopped rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, lemon, and oil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, peel the mangoes, and cut in half. Cut each half lengthwise into thin slices. Put in a bowl, add the lime juice, and season with pepper. Stir gently to mix well, and set aside.
  3. Heat your grill until medium-hot, and brush with oil. Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, and brush lightly with the marinade. Set the skewers aside for 15 minutes, and keep warm. To serve, divide the skewers among 4 plates, add the mango slices, and sprinkle with herbs.

If you have a rosemary bush, break off 12 long, thin stems or branches, strip them of most of the leaves, and use as skewers.
