Instructions

  • Chop up 3 Chicken thighs.
  • Put them into a large bowl with 2 tablespoon Olive oil, 3 Garlic clove, juice of 1 Lemon, 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil, 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano and Sea salt and ground black pepper. Mix well and put into the fridge overnight or at least for 2 hours.
  • Add 1 Red onion, 1 Red bell pepper and 1 Green bell pepper and mix well.
  • Thread onto skewers.
  • Put under the grill (broiler) for about 20 minutes, turning regularly.

Notes

  • If you are using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them for 30 minutes before threading everything on to them. This will ensure that they don't burn when cooking.
  • We used chicken thighs, because they are nice and juicy, however you could use chunks of chicken breast instead.
  • Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the chunks of chicken you use.
  • You can cook these on the grill, in the oven or on the BBQ.
  • These are great cold the next day, so make extra and them pack them in packed lunches or for picnics.
  • You could make a vegetarian version of these by swapping the chicken for chunks of halloumi.
