Time 1h

Yield 4 skewers, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 chicken breasts
1 large zucchini
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 skewers

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the chicken lengthwise so you end up with thin strips, about an inch wide and 5 inches long, depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
  • If the slices are more than a quarter-inch thick, lay out a piece of clingfilm (saran wrap), lay the slices of chicken on top and cover with another piece of clingfilm. Bash with a rolling pin until each slice is a quarter-inch thick.
  • Place the chicken in a bowl with the spices, stir and cover. Leave in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.
  • Meanwhile, prepare and preheat the grill.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into thin strips the length of the zucchini.
  • Thread alternate strips of chicken and zucchini onto the skewers in an "S" shape.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and grill for about 15 minutes, turning regularly, until the chicken is cooked through.
