340g (12oz) chicken breast, cut into 3cm (1¼in) cubesMARINATED CHICKEN SKEWERS
Don’t limit this chicken to barbecues and picnics – these tasty skewers make a great starter dish or easy snack, eaten straight from the stick or eased away and stuffed into a fresh wrap with a mound of salad and dollop of mayo!
340g (12oz) chicken breast, cut into 3cm (1¼in) cubes
80ml (⅓ cup) honey
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
juice of 1 lemon
From the store cupboard
250ml (1 cup) light soy sauce
If you are using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 1 hour before using.
Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well, making sure the chicken is well coated. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Thread 3 cubes of chicken on to each skewer, then place on a foil-lined baking tray. I’d recommend 2 skewers per person. Once all of the chicken has been threaded on to your skewers, spoon over the remaining marinade. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, basting and turning the skewers every 15 minutes.
Once you are happy that the chicken is cooked through, transfer to a serving plate. These are best eaten warm but are also tasty as a cold snack or filling for baguettes, wraps or pittas.
