Best Herbed Chicken Skewers Recipes

HERBED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using wooden or bamboo skewers soak eight in cold water for about half an hour. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes, until just tender, drain and leave to cool. Mix the herbs, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a large bowl and add the chicken and potatoes. Mix well until everything is glistening. Cut the onion into 6 wedges, then separate the layers on each wedge. Add the onion and the pepper to the marinade and mix thoroughly.
• To make the relish, halve and seed the tomatoes, then chop the flesh finely. Mix the tomatoes, chillies, garlic, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and spoon into a small dish.
• Thread the chicken, potatoes, peppers and onion onto 8 skewers, finishing each with a lemon wedge. Barbecue directly over a medium high heat for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked. Serve piled on a serving platter with the tomato relish.

LEMONY CHICKEN SKEWERS, HERBED NEW POTATOES & APPLE COLESLAW

Steps:

• If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 mins. Heat the grill to high and place a non-stick baking tray beneath it. In a large bowl, mix the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken, turning it to ensure it is thoroughly coated. Cover and set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water and cook until a fork easily pierces them - about 12 mins. Meanwhile, mix the oil and herbs in a small bowl.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing for the coleslaw. Mix together the crème fraiche, mustard and lemon in a large bowl. Add all the vegetables and the apple, and stir well.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan. Pour the herb mixture over them, stir gently to mix, cover to keep warm and set aside.
• Finally, divide the chicken between 4 skewers and place on the hot baking tray, spooning excess marinade over the chicken. Put the tray under the grill and cook for 6-8 mins, turning the skewers every 2 mins or so to ensure even cooking. Cut open a piece of chicken to ensure it's cooked through. Serve with the potatoes and coleslaw, reserving half the coleslaw for Smoked mackerel platter (see 'goes well with').

HERBED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Make a mixture of herbs, spices, yogurt and lemon juice. Cut chicken into cubes and marinate it overnight in the mixture. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for half an hour before you put the meat on them. Grill skewers for about 10-15 minutes. Serve with a sauce of your choice (preferably hot).
